What is this bump on my tongue?
I have a bump on my tongue, way in the back on the side. It doesn’t hurt or anything, but it is annoying because I’m worried that it may be something serious. Anybody else with a similar bump? I know that I should go to the doctor, but I have no insurance so I’ve been putting it off.
Hi karla,
How long has this bump been on your tongue? If it’s white and it’s been less than a week, it’s probably just an inflamed taste bud, which is harmless and will go away on its own.
If it’s been longer than a week, it could be a number of things. The most common cause is a fibroma. A fibroma is a small bump of fibrous connective tissue that usually forms after trauma, such as from biting the tongue. It is benign and often remains the same shape for many years. It can be diagnosed and removed by a dentist.
If a bump on tongue continues to grow, is painful, or ulcerated, it is very important to visit a dentist as soon as possible.
Hope that helps!
