tongue problem
by hazza1, Oct 01, 2009 07:58PM
Hi all
I recently found a dark red circle on the tip of my tongue. Its about half to 2/3 of a fingernail in size. It doesn't hurt, though it feels tender some times. The colour is like a darker red colour, and its surrounded by an even darker red outline. I have also had my tongue pierced for 8-9 weeks. Is this blotch related to my tongue piercing? and what is this red blotch? what should i do?
please help
p.s the picture makes the sore look lighter, its darker then what it appears in the picture

The symptoms and picture are suggestive of a keloid. They are formations of scar tissue that grow after trauma or piercing of a body part is done. The other possibility is of a cyst which is formed when irritants like oil, sweat, dirt, perfume, hairspray and lots of other things can aggravate a piercing and cause an infection. It will create a growth filled with blood, puss, and or sebum but it is usually painful and may discharge pus or blood. If it is a keloid that you are having, then surgical excision is to be done. Please get it examined from a dermatologist to confirm the diagnosis.
Hope it helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional queries. Warm regards.
