Tongue Pimples

i cant stop biting my tongue on purpose, how harmful may this be?

i actually do this thing often, i use my teeth and cut off parts of my tongue at a time, mostly because at some parts its very rough, i mean i believe a tongue should feel smooth as it moves in my mouth. yet i move my tongue and its as if it has pimples on it or something (if it helps @understanding) so it has these bumps on it and i cannot resist but take my teeth and cut it off. of course, my tongue then bleeds to death which is about when i just use some listerine or something where it gets easier, but its not like these are ever gonna stop coming out :P so, is there any way to get rid of these bumps without practically chewing/cutting out my own tongue?

1. i do the same thing. those bumps are important tho. i cant remember the name right now but they help you taste foods and stuff. but i suggest try to break the habbit. it takes bout 28 days to gain a habbit and 30 to loose one. so good luck wiff that. but i do the same thing wiff my tongue and the inside of my cheeks.
2. These bumps are your taste buds so they wont go away but i think you should stop
3. those bumps are taste buds, so don't bite them off, try keeping a small piece of straw in your mouth to chew on and forget the bumps, they will go down after you leave them alone for awhile. also, brush your tonge every time you think about it.
