I have had this white strip across the side of my tongue for the past 3 weeks or so. Recently I had researched what it could possibly be and have narrowed it down to leukoplakia and oral thrush. It does not hurt when I eat or hurt at all. I started taking vyvance because of ADD about a month ago and doing so made me start to bite my tongue and gums. I had stopped doing so once I noticed the white strip but it has not healed. I also get little tiny sores on and off on my tongue that look almost like little white taste buds and get irritated very easily. But I just would like to know if it is just a raw spot tongue or leukoplakia because I have used a few tobacco products in past. nothing that lasted more than a month or two of use. I am not even 20 yet and the thought of cancer is terrifying me. Any thoughts on what it could be?Thank you.
