Bump on bottom of tongue
by GPWT, May 02, 2006 12:00AM
A bump has appeared on the underside of my tongue. It is located on the centerline about 5/16" from the end, it is about 1/8" in diameter, it's spherical in form, white/pink in color, protrudes by about 3/32", and seems hard and almost rubbery. There is no pain or bleeding, but it's irritating because it constantly scrapes the edges of my lower front teeth. What is this and how critical is it to get it removed ASAP? Who should I contact to get this removed?

Thank you- I had it removed and it was pretty well healed by the end of the day. The OS sent it for a biopsy and it turned out to be a salivary gland.

I have the same problem in my mouth..a small bump in the back right floor of my mouth by the base of my tongue. It starts small then by the end of the day it is larger. then it pops. then a day or 2 later it grows again and pops when matured and it has been repeating itself for the last few days. Please help
