A member asked:

I have one red patch on my tongue, painless, flat, and persisted for a month now, im worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't worry!: If it's not getting bigger, give it another month. The tongue and its taste buds do weird stuff all the time. Follow up with a PCP or ENT if enlarging or not better in a month.
