How could a pimple be on the bottom back of my tongue?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inflamed Papillae: What may appear as a pimple on the back of your tongue could be an inflamed taste bud. Also, tonsillar tissues are located around the throat in this area in a 'ring' pattern, that may be enlarged or inflamed. Finally, some lesions of this type may be related to oral cancer or std's. My advise is to visit an oral surgeon or oral pathologist very, very soon for a thorough examination of this area!
