Tongue Pimples

 

What are those little bumps that come up on your tongue?

I periodically get one painful small bump on my tongue. It pops up in various places on my tongue since I was a child. My mom used to call them "lie bumps". Anyway, wanted to see if anyone knew what these were?

  1. taste buds.. you taste stuff w/ them
  2. they are called "bumps you get on your tonuge", sweetheart.
  3. they are called hollow bumps. The bump means ya tongue is halthy and that ut stay moist, which is a good thing. so dont worry bout the bump. and it will hurt. but itz no big deal
  4. not sure. check with your doctor to make sure it isn't something you need treatment for.
  5. those are your taste buds.
  6. That is what my mom 50 years ago told me. Lie Bumps. Mine apear on the tip of my tongue at times, not often but they appear like a small white pimple. I will bite it and let the "gook" out and instantely well. Why do you get blood Blisters underneath your tongue?
  7. it is called a swelled up taste bud it goes away after a few days but is VERY annoying they sometimes get irritated by eating certain foods or sometimes caused by biting your tongue.
  8. These bumps are mostly the occurrence of you(swallowing, gargling, etc.)inserting in your mouth any hot or stingy substances , and your tongue is most likely has been scalded by the heat let off by the liquid.
  9. I ALSO HEARD THAT THEY WERE LIE BUMPS BUT I THINK THAT THEY ARE INFECTED TASTE BUDS
  10. Those are your taste buds. And I know what you're talking about when one gets infected. It's usually because you bit your tonuge or burned it.
  11. you guys...isn't that a kanker sore? Take some Lysine good stuff for kanker sores...or maybe I'm totally missin the boat here... :) Have a good day!
