Ulcers on the tongue

Ulcers on the tongue are open sores that can range in size from small dots to larger patches. They may be painful, red, and inflamed, and often have a yellow or white center. They can develop suddenly or over time and may be accompanied by a burning sensation or difficulty eating and drinking. Ulcers are caused by a variety of factors, including infection, trauma, and underlying medical conditions. Treatment options vary depending on the cause and severity of the ulcer.
