bumps on tongue

[greenandblue]

So ive had this big bumps on the back of my tongue for as long as i can remember. They are there 24/7 and do not hurt or give me any discomfort any idea what they could be?

i also have little bumps on the back sides of my tongue again do not bother me at all.
Also little bumps on the top of my tongue the whole tongue that do not bother me. (i think they are just raised taste buds)

I just noticed all these when me and my friends talked about oral herpes. Is this a sign of oral herpes or another STD. I looked at the pictures and nothing looks like it but they are there constantly.

thank you everyone!!! it makes me feel so much more relieved. i am going to get a test done, but to make sure, positively

these most certainly are not herpes going on!! As dallasfan said, they are completely normal and not std related.

I expect your doctor will tell you these are tastebuds..and yes they are supposed to be there.

Bumps can be many things and often not a STD. Only a Dr is going to be able to tell you what they are.
