Tongue Pimples

Pink bumps in the back of my tongue?

I noticed I have these pink bumps all the way at the back of my tongue. They look like really large flat raised tastebuds. (theyre prob a couple of mm wide each) I cant feel them didnt notice them but there are 4 or 6 of them. Theyr so far back I cant get a good look either. Is this something bad? Could it be cancerous?

1. They're just large taste buds :) Everyone has them.
2. A family doctor would do a throat culture to find out if they are cancer. I know because mine did a throat culture and I'll receive the results this week. But my throat bothered me for eleven days before I finally made an appointment. So I suggest you make an appointment with your doctor. Try this site maybe it will tell you why you have the bumps. But seeing your doctor is better to be safer then sorry. http://www.webmd.com Good luck. :-)
