Accepted Answer

Bump on tongue: If you smoke or use any tobacco products, show your doctor/dentist right away. If you don't smoke, then just show your dentist next time you go. If it doesn't hurt and you aren't having fevers, night sweats, unexplained weight loss, or enlarged lymph nodes in your neck, then it's probably nothing. Good luck.

Painless?: If it is painless then I would see your doctor or dentist for evaluation.  If it is sore then give it a week before seeking consultation.

Question 9

i kissed a boy friday night and sunday morning when i got up i had a red bump on the tip of my tongue that was hurting what is it? is it hyrpes?

Accepted Answer

Doubtfull but possib: Any oral contact can transmit disease. Herpes usually is on the lips or the gums but can manifest on the tongue. Regardless, if it is herpes it is probably not the type two that you are afraid of, but a simple cold sore which will disappear in a week. Relax.

Question 10

i developed a very small red bump on the tip of my tongue that is painful / sore.  i burned my tongue earlier today, could it be related?

Accepted Answer

Likely: That is the most likely scenario. You might also be pulling it against or over or through a small space at the front of your teeth. This can be a habit. If burned, it should resolve in 1 - 2 weeks. Monitor it and see. If not better, see your dentist. Good luck.
