A member asked:
I'm fairly sure i have both thrush and geographic tongue due to having the patches but also white lesions are starting to appear and are bleeding slightly?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Thrush is: TREATABLE whereas GEOGRAPHIC tongue is a NORMAL variant! Speak with your Primary Care Provider who may prescribe NYSTATIN mouth wash to see what effect this has...Your DENTIST may also provide some very helpful ideas! Hope this helps! Dr Z
