Strange bump under my tongue?!


Question: I have this weird bump under my tongue. Its the same color as the rest of my flesh but its a raised spot. It also had a few little white dots on it after I put peroxide on it. Its soft and I can move it with my tongue. By that I mean it isn't firm or anything. It also doesn't hurt unless I mess with it but even then its really an extremely small pain. I hope this isn't too vague to tell what it is but I can't really describe it any better.

Erythroplakia is just a general term for a red spot. If its the same color as your skin, it wouldn't be erythroplakia. It sounds like its a mucocele. A mucocele is saliva trapped under the skin usually due to trauma. If it doesn't go away after a couple more days try to lance it with a safety pin. A clear salty tasting liquid should come out. If it doesn't you should see your dentist. A mucocele isn't dangerous or harmful. Nothing to worry about if thats indeed what it is. Some people get them all the time. They can also occur on the lip also from trauma.

could be a cold sore.

probably a canker sore, i just ignore them but you can get wierd tasting stuff to put on it

canker sore probably i hate them

Don't worry about it. It is probably a small blister type bump. I ususally get one and it goes away on its own. Just leave it alone and it will disappear in a few days. I hope this helps hun.

sounds like mouth cancer. get to the doctor asap
