Under tongue red/purple patch

Hi , I am having a proper panic ( taken propoponol so that should help). Had a lot of health issues recently, GERD , fatty liver ( I don't drink)  and yesterday I noticed a red patch ( not an ulcer) on the middle section under my tongue . I am a full time carer for our disabled Asperger's son aged 24 , I am 61 and I am terrified. 

  • Hello and thank you for your post,

    I can appreciate your concern however I'm sorry that no one here can say what, if anything, is the matter. The best thing to do is to get make a GP appointment to get checked out.

    Remember it is not necessarily cancer and while you are waiting for this appointment it is a time to see if the red patch goes.  

    Please get back to us if you need any more information or support.  You may find it helpful to talk things through with one of the nurses on our helpline.  The number to call is Freephone 0808 800 4040 and the lines are open from 9am till 5pm Monday to Friday.

    Take care,
