A member asked:

My girlfriend has a red dot under her tongue, looks like a clot, what could it be? something to be concerned about?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Clot: This is consistent with a blood blister but without seeing it something more severe cannot be ruled out. I suggest you see your physician for confirmation.
