TONGUE HERPES?

I have these clusters of small bumps on my tongue near the back of my throat, their the color of my tongue mayb a little red i guess, but when i scraped my tongue, they bled. Their a little raw, and before that, when I'd brush, it hurt a little, but now that I've exposed them they don't feel that bad just kind of raw er sore i guess. could it be herpes on my tongue????

No this doesn't sound like herpes however it sounds like something abnormal that needs seen and properly evaluated and treated.  I would not ignore this - it's worth it to go and be seen.

Well I have to agree with grace...they have clinics that go by income and some are even free.  Search your area and make phone calls to find out where these clinics are.  IF  and I say if you are positive for herpes or anyother disease you need to get checked.  You owe it to yourself and the ones you love.

good luck

I do appreciate the feedback Grace, but Being examined and tested cost money, my household can't afford to spend. Does anyone know if these sound like herepes?

The only thing to do is to see your provider and get these looked at. we'd be guessing.

Also, just now, when I tried to feel them, there were some slightly larger bumps further back and one of the small ones opened up er split in half. a few days ago i noticed that my tongue was purple
