Accepted Answer

Probably ok?: Hi
If you don't have any symptoms, it is probably ok, although it is difficult for me to say for sure because I can't see it. If it is bothering you still, then a regular clinic appointment or walk-in clinic would be ok too.

Question 4

Sore throat: A red spot on the palate may be related to your infection. However, there is not a way for us to know for sure.

Question 5

light red spot on tongue-anything to be concerned about?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: Without seeing your tongue it is not possible to tell you  what is going on with your tongue.  There are several causes of spots ranging from virus, allergies, and trauma.  But most things on the tongue will heal without treatment.  If you are having pain, difficulty swallowing, or if it does to heal in a week to 10 days you should see a dentist and have it checked out.

Question 6

i noticed a round red spot on tongue. 1/3 of an inch, flat, seems like the skin is peeled off. it was fading but 2day i had oranges now it's red again?

Accepted Answer

Oral surgeon: Hard to say without exam. The oral mucosa heals rapidly after insult or trauma. It lesion persists after another week, see an oral surgeon or ENT doc for evaluation.

Question 7

odd symptoms on rt side of body: throat feels tight, red spot on tongue, tongue goes right when stuck out, sharp/ache in glute and leg. all right side?

Accepted Answer

See physician : It is possibly something neurological. You should be checked. That is the prudent thing to do. It is hard to give you an answer without an examination.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Red Spot: Could be many things so please see your ENT or your dentist to have it diagnosed.

Question 9

i've recently noticed a red spot on middle of tongue, it's quite painful, anything to worry about?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: If the spot 'moves' (changes location) it is probably 'geographic tongue'...A benign condition. The red spot is a denuded area and it can be sensitive. Geographic tongue, also known as glossitis migrans, is usually intermittent in nature. However, it may be something else. You should have it examined by a dentist or oral surgeon trained in oral pathology.

Question 10

what can cause a small red spot beneath the tongue?

Accepted Answer

Let a doctor look: There are commonly small blood vessels that are visible in the tissue under the tongue and sometimes they appear as a red spot.  Without seeing it, it would be hard to speculate.
