Sores on tongue, sides of mouth.

The sores I have look like popped blisters, appearing like I’ve seen on my heel after my shoes have rubbed a spot raw. The pain is horrid. The first one is dime sized, the second akin to the size of a pencil erasure. It has a pea sized painful to the touch lump next to it. I was taken off of a 25 mcg patch (every 72 hours) and put on Suboxone. It is a film that is dissolved under the tongue. My tongue would get a “knot” on it. One little white nodule here or there that would go away every couple of weeks to the blister like sores I have now. Not sure if it’s related to the change in this medication, but it’s the only change I’ve had. I also have Sarcoidosis of the Lungs and Skin. It’s in check though. I take a Methotrexate injection once a week. I went to my PCP. Sent me home with Nystatin for Thrush. This is not Thrush. I have T2 Diabetes as well, not Thrush. Not sure who to hit up next. Which type of Doc comes next? Any suggestions? Thanks!!!

@crippledoll Hey There. I am so sorry you are battling this.

Personally, I would see a Dermatologist first and let them do a culture of the blisters in your
mouth. I would ask my Primary Doctor to run a full liver panel on me. If no answers, I
would then see an Endocrinologist for a full thyoid panel and auto immune panel (A Rheumatologist can run a full panel as well, but, it's hard to get into see a Rheumaologist now.) If no answers, then I would see an Infectious Disease doctor.

I know. It's a lot. Sometimes it takes different doctors checking you to get a correct
Diagnosis. Praying for you. Blessings....

@crippledoll I have similar issues. The only thing I can do is use a “sore mouth” mouth rinse.
