A member asked:

I have what seems to be a white bump on my my frenula underneath my tongue feels like i've strained it .. i'm really worried?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Don't worry: This could be an ulcer, a healing tear or a blocked salivary gland or stone in a duct of a gland. Don't worry, but see your dentist or family doctor for an evaluation to rule out a rare but serious issue & appropriate treatment.
