Red blister on tip of tongue Dec 8, 2003 Dear Doctors Please help. My nephew was diagnosed HIV pos a few months ago. This morning she woke up with a red blister the size of a small pimple on the tip of her tongue, which she says is both painful and numb on contact. Could this be a sign of an OI? If so what could it be and what kind of treatment must she take? Her CD4 count was 480 VL=300 in july. She is not yet on meds. I am extremely worried |

 Thanks for your question. This doesn't sound like anything too serious to me and with a CD4 count around 500, it's pretty unlikely that your nephew (niece?) has anything bad. It could be a canker sore, or herpes outbreak. But-- an important but-- don't take my word on it, but have your nephew see his/her doctor. Good luck, BY | ||||||||
