A member asked:
This may be word but under my tongue it looks like almost a skin tag that kind of flops around could this be dangerous and need to be looked at ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Likely not dangerous: Did this develop recently or has it been there a while? Could it be that it the normal structure, called frenulum and you only noticed it recently. There is no immediate danger, you can discuss it with your doctor when you see her/him next.
