Question 1

help me please! there are small red bumps on tongue, with "hairy" tougne and red patches. what do i do?

Accepted Answer

See your dentist: See your dentist for a definitive diagnosis. Sounds like normal taste buds (bumps), geographic tongue (bald patches-red spots) and hairy tongue (elongation of papillae).

Question 2

had just recently taken out my tongue ring, my doctor says it was not infected but now i have small irritated red bumps on tongue, hurt when drnk/eat?

Accepted Answer

Probably not: related.  It could be a cold sore developing.  If it persists or worsens, have your doctor look at it.

Question 3

what are little red bumps on my tongue?

Accepted Answer

red bumps: Can't be sure without an examination. Where on the tongue are they located? Are they painful? How long have they been there?
If they're on the back of the tongue, they may be taste buds.
See your dentist for an examination to be sure.

Question 4

what exactly can be the tiny cluster of red bumps on my tongue?

Accepted Answer

Exactly: Your request for an "exact" diagnosis, over the internet, sight unseen, medical and habit history unknown, is not possible. Your best bet for a definitive diagnosis is an appointment with a local oral surgeon. Please call for peace of mind.

Question 5

what cause smooth red bumps on the tongue that goes away within a week?

Accepted Answer

Needs to be seen: Without actually seeing you and the bumps on your tongue, we can't diagnose what you see. It's most likely normal if it goes away.  It could be many things and not necessarily a problem.  The best way to get an accurate answer is to have a dentist actually examine you when the red bumps are there.

Question 6

i have little red bumps on my tongue and they hurts, can you tell me where they come from?

Accepted Answer

Tongue Bumps: If the tiny red bumps on your tongue are painful, you most likely have inflamed papillae.. Inflamed papillae are usually caused by traumatic injury such as burning your tongue on hot food or beverages, or accidentally biting your tongue. Smoking can also cause your tongue to be irritated and sore. A canker sore, or viral ulcer, can also appear on the tongue.
