Whats the cause of a lump in the tongue.it looks like a normal tongue but when you pinch it a little hard pea sized bump is movable. im 16 no tobacco.

It depends. : Where on the tongue is the lesion? If it's on the side, it could be a traumatic lesion from biting. It's hard to say definitively without seeing it getting more information. Best option is to get a biopsy of it.
