Circumvallate papillae??


Question: On the very back of my tongue (as far back as I can see in the mirror). I have two rows of bumps (3 or four in a row) on opposing sides that seem to make a V pointing down my throat. Are these circumvallate papillae? Or are they mouth cancer. Also, I think I have thrush if thats important.
Answers: Yes they are the circumvallate papillae.
