Warts under tongue, could it be HPV?

[sherry7732]

I was diagnosed with HPV back in 2000 and the last time I had a breakout was in 2005 and have been clear since then. I recently got the HPV vaccine and the last dose was in June 2013. In August I was experiencing discomfort in my mouth and two doctors diagnosed it as stress. I saw two or three small growth underneath my tongue and the oral surgeon said it was normal.

One month later I have a bigger growth in the line under my tongue and inbetween the V-Portion of my tongue and then some growths on the actual V-Lines under my tongue.  They are all flesh like.

What do you guys think, what could this possibly be???  I am concerned they could be warts but at the same time I think the doctors know more than I do.  Also, the bumps are painless.

I really appreciate your help,

Hello,
One possibility is of salivary gland swelling like sublingual gland infection or blockage which lies beneath the mucous membrane of the floor of the mouth. The sublingual and submaxillary (also called the submandibular) glands empty into the mouth through ducts under the tongue. Swelling of these glands due to blockage of these ducts leads to interference of production and drainage of saliva and pain and irritation. It may be due to some obstruction like stone or tumor, inflammation and infection.

Other than that it can be a benign tumor or a HPV wart. Diagnosis can be confirmed after examination and biopsy.
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care and please do keep me posted on how you are doing.

Sounds like warts to me.  Either revisit your oral surgeon or consider seeing an ENT doctor. Those growths should be removed and biopsied.
