5. Sores on the Mouth or Tongue
Another symptom of HPV that a person may have and not realize that it is caused by HPV is a canker sore. These sores appear on the mouth or the tongue. They are often found on the soft palate. The sores can be treated with over the counter medications in most cases. However, if sores on the mouth or tongue develop and they start to appear discolored, it could be symptomatic of an oral growth that may be cancerous.
If you have developed this type of symptom it is important to not just write it off as being a typical canker sore that will go away after a few days. You need to make sure that you seek medical attention for a proper diagnosis. Proper measures need to be taken in order to help prevent the growth of new tumors, especially if it is discovered that the infection is in fact cancerous.
