Circumvalate Papilla: Those are normal taste buds that you are looking at. However, just to make sure see your dentist.

Papillae: The back of your tongue has circumvallate papillae, they are larger than the other types of papillae on your tongue and form a chevron shape. Papillae can become enlarged, due to infection, irritation or trauma. If this is the case, please have your DMD or ENT evaluate clinically.
