Tongue Pimples

i have a pimple on the end of my tongue?

i have a pimple like bump of the tip of my tongue, towards the side. it's kind of painful and i'm kinda freaking out about it. what is it and how do i get rid of it? it doesn't look like a wart and i'm sure it's not an std. could it be an inflamed taste bud?

1. It's probably just a canker sore. Just don't eat anything very acidic the next few days and it'll go away.
2. Ugh. I hate those! They are called Canker Sores Spicy or acidic food can irritate it But what i do is rinse with hydrogen peroxide every night and morning Cold Sores you get on the outside of your mouth.
3. You most likely have a lye bump. It favors the appearance of a pimple, but it's actually not- and trying to squeeze it would prove to be very painful! And, as you said, it's a bit painful it you rub it wrong or grind food on it. But don't worry, it'll be gone in a few days! Just try not to irritate it.

4. It is an ulcer. You get them from having a deficiency in your body. I get them a lot. Try gargling with warm salt water, or you could go to the pharmacy and ask your pharmacist for an over the counter product that you can gargle with. Sorry I forget the name, but it really does work.
5. Try to drink salt water or something tell your parents or ask a your doctor for help
