Hi All,
I've been having symptoms in my mouth for the past two/three months that have not been getting any better. I've been to several doctors and the ones that have been taking me seriously cannot help because it's not their specialty and the ones that can possibly help me have not been taking me seriously and tell me I should see a psychologist, which is so frustrating.
I have the following symptoms:
-White/transparent coating in inner lining of cheeks, can not be seen in some lights. associated with itching and irritation
-I feel like there is an extra layer of tissue in my mouth
-Numbness underneath the tongue associated with dicoloration of the tissue that is white and yellow
-Shinny plastic looking coating underneath my tongue
-White coating over taste buds
-My tongue is sensitive to everything especially to spicy and salty foods. When I'm not eating my tongue is tingling and sometimes numb feeling.
-One wart appeared on my lips and was removed, but is slightly growing back, but the doctors are totally disregaurding it as being from my HPV infection...it's so weird.
Just because a doctor doesn't see the things I see doesn't mean there isn't anything there. My whole life has been miserable because of this.
I am in desperate need of help and in need of a doctor that is willing to listen to me.
Does anyone know any doctors that specialize in Oral HPV?

I have had the exact same experiences with doctors. They look at you for 5 minutes and completely discount your years of 24/7 observations. They absolutely refuse to believe anything a patient tells them if they don't see obvious classical symptoms. You should get the HPV vaccine even though there is not much info on it curing HPV
