A member asked:
I have a small lump in the inside of my tongue that i can feel but not see. i was wondering if this is from biting it in my sleep or something else?

Tongue lesion : Many small tongue lesions can be from biting the tongue, friction on teeth or dental work, or thrusting the tongue on the palate. It is still advisable to see a doctor to check the area.
