Hi the above pics are of my tongue and bottom lip. I'm concerned that I may have some sort of allergy or virus happening. The tongue feels quite irritated at times and you can see the red dots visible on the front of it. Also my lip (bottom) is always dry and cracks if I open my mouth quickly without thinking about it. It has been like this for some time now and seems to be getting worse. Is this a sign of something bad or could my constant stress and terrible diet be causing this. I will be seeing my doctor really soon so I just want some pointers if possible.

      Thank you Kim. I think maybe its my stresses getting the better of me too. I just keep thinking the worst such as HSV oral or HPV

      My last encounter was over 6 months ago and it just plays on me. I have been tested for STDs and all was clear.

      I am just extremely stressed each day over this.
