Tiny white pumps on the tip of my tongue

[gyzmo21]

In the last few years I have had tiny white bumps appear on the tip of my tongue and my tongue appears swollen.  In  the past I have taken benadryl and that has taken care of it.  They  seem to come more often now.  I keep up on my teeth cleanings and fillings if needed.  I also suffer now from hypothyroidism due to the irradation of my thyroid due to hyperthyroidism.  Could that be the cause?


This discussion is related to White, painful bumps on the tip of my tongue for past 4 days, and a swolen lip..

Myxedema is a common oral manifestation of hypothyroidism. Seeing an oral pathologist is advised.

Hello, I've been getting white bumps on my tongue since I was a kid and I'm in my 20's now. My grandmother use to tell me they were lie bumps and sure enough when I told a big lie one would appear on my tongue the next day or few.lol.

But the explanation for this is that when you lie about something that ur nervouse about something happens to your body.(This is how a lie detector test detects) The white bumps come from acids in the stomach which explains how every time I told a big lie the nervousness cause my stomach acids to boil.

Thats one way, but the other ways are from smoking tobacco products and alcohol consumption. Also, foods that are high in acids which also effects your stomach acids. All these combined are factors in which cause the white bumps on your tongue.

The only treatment for this that I know is to stop your smoke, alcohol, and foods high acid consumption for a few days to a week and the bumps will go away on their own. Consumption of the three causes will only prolong the healing. If you follow the treatments and the problem still persists for a period of 2 wks then you should go see a physician.
