Light red spot on tongue-anything to be concerned about?
A doctor has provided 1 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.
