red bums under tongue

by lion234, Dec 26, 2007 08:42AM
Hi i have a problem, have around 5-6 red bumps under my tongue,they do not hurt and i have been worried sick over this. I had oral sex with a sex worker in August and i did a HIV last week,123 days after that and it was negative.Could it be HIV/STD? That was my only sexual encounter.

What could they be?
Pls help :(

Could it??? Well, yes, I suppose it could be something of concern.  Are they UNDER the tounge?  Where exactly are they?  The lateral side, the back of the tounge?  the floor of the mouth under the front of the tounge?  It is most likely normal anatomy...papillae, or possibly a series of mucoceles.  Or it is just your normal anatomy, something you never paid attention to before you had any reason to be scared.  Whatever the case, is is very unlikely an STD.  But then again, it is very unlikely I will get in a car wreck tonight, but I'm going to wear a seat belt...get my drift?  In other words, get it looked at by an oral surgeon or dentist to get some peace of mind, and use it as a lesson for the future.  Best wishes!
