Difficult: It is difficult to comment on something that cannot be seen or felt. Your best action is to have a dentist take a look and see. It could be normal or something that needs treatment. Sorry i can't help you more...

See a dentist: See your dentist for an examination. Lesions on the borders of the tongue can be cancer and should be looked at by a professional and biopsied if needed.
