Tongue Pimples
Strange bump on tongue...?
I have looked everywhere, but I still cannot find anything. It flares up every month or so in the same spot. It is at the very tip of my tongue and has a very fine white tip on it. (Almost microscopic!) I know it can't be herpes; I'm a virgin in every way whatsoever. I have no other abnormalities with my tongue. The bump is irritating, but not painful. I would love to know what this might be and what I can do to treat it. It's not geographic tongue- it's just one little spot, not more than a millimeter in diameter; the rest of my tongue is relatively the same color.

Public Comments
- maybe it's a burn or something
- its just a lie bump have you been lying?
- please see an ears, nose, and throat doctor. s/he can thoroughly examine your tongue to determine whether your bump is serious or just a nusiance. either way, if it's bothering you, seek medical attention.
- try googling "geographic tongue" or "migratory glossitis" doesn't sound like you have it, but it could be similar ps - herpes does not break out on your tongue, and you don't have to be sexually active to contract it.
- There are different types of herpes. If you have ever had a canker sore or cold sore than you have herpes. You could have even gotten it from a kiss from your mom. I would go to a dermatologist. They can take a biopsy to make sure its not cancer.
- Its probably a swollen tastebud, I get them all the time. Do you use or have you eaten something with alot of salt? Salt usually triggers the swollen tastebuds...and they should go away in a few days. Drink water!
- My brother gets those too, it bothers him but he doesn't have much choice. I don't think its anything to worry about, but whatever you do, don't poke it with a needle. Don't ask why unless you want to hear a very long story! LOL!
- I've always called them lie bumps. Don;t know them to be life threatening or anything to even worry about.
