Need an Exam: Lesions on the tongue can be either benign or related to a more serious problem. You need to have a thorough oral examination by your doctor or dentist.

See an ENT doctor: Bleeding from tongue can be from traumatic biting or tumor. It is not normal.

Spots: Any red or white spots in the mouth that do not completely disappear in 2 weeks from onset require examination and possible imaging and/or testing. Usually mouth lesions are readily treatable, but sometimes can be quite serious. The appearance of blood on the sides of your tongue may indicate a non-healing lesion or gum disease. Please see your Dentist to begin the diagnostic process. Do not delay
