red painless spots on tongue
The front part of my tongue has a few dark pink/red bumpy tiny spots. I'm a virgin so don't think they have anything to do with stds. I don't know how long they have been there, I just noticed them 4 months ago. I Have a childhood history of asthma, could that be the cause? Is it something I should worry about? Must I visit a doc?
That's great Miss Purple, your issues get resolved. Hopefully, you will not restart your habit of chewing the chalk and would take proper dental hygiene of regular brushing and flossing.
I tried brushing the affected area vigorously last night, shockingly it worked, they have reduced 3/4 of them have vanished. Thank you so much doctor jerome :-)

Are you still chewing on chalk and dirt still? I would imagine that it may cause the red spots on your tongue but the only way to really know is to stop it and see if it goes away
Yes I brush the area twice daily. Diet? I have a pica problem I have been chewing chalk and dirt since 2007 maybe that might be the cause.

Its hard to say. I would recommend seeing a doctor just to get it checked out. Have you tried brushing the area? Any changes in diet, toothpaste, mouthwash, etc?
