Response from Dr. Reznik
 OHL or oral hairy leukoplakia can present as either unilateral or bilateral when it presents. This does not mean that I am implying that you have OHL, but rather offering general information. There are several reasons why a person can present with a non-removable white lesion on the side of the tongue including something as benign as repeated trauma to the area. The best advice I can offer is for you to visit a dentist experienced in oral medicine or oral pathology for an accurate diagnosis of the condition you are presenting with. Take care, DR |
