Bumps on Tongue: Bumps on tongue more often than not turn out to be taste buds. One does not get cancer of the tongue at age 22 and one does not get cancer from oral sex in 'months'. It seems you are worrying much more than you should be and it may be wise to get to a physician or dentist to ease your mind.

HPV on rise: Oral cancer is on the rise, especially among young population age 18-25. Hpv (human papilloma virus) related oral cancer is more common now, but oral sex 4 months ago and the bumps today do not seem to be cancer-related. However, you may have had viral infection from such an activity, so consulting with a dentist to receive a proper next-step care is critical.
