I think I have oral hpv, I have a growth on the side of my tongue and in the back of my tongue. The first time I mentioned this to two different doctors 5 months ago they said burnt toast could of caused an irritation and by using listerine I kept irritating it. I stopped using listerine and waiting for the side growth to go away. Then bumps in the back of my tongue developed 2 months after and I still have the growth on the side of my tongue. I am going to go to the doctor again soon, I work, go to school and volunteer so I hardly have anytime for myself. I am scared though, does this sound like oral hpv? I did perform oral sex on my ex that gave me genital warts in the first place. I stopped giving him oral sex when I found out he had hpv.
