Spots under the tongue?
 Login/Join 
Posted
Hi,

For the past few months, I've discovered several tiny spots underneath my tongue. There's one near my teeth under my tongue, and another two near it. I think they are near my Salivary Gland under my tongue. I can only feel the spots with my tongue and finger, I think the spots are underneath the skin. When I felt the spot, it feels hardish but I can move it around. I don't think it's grown at all since I first discovered it. About a month ago, I seen my doctor about it and he looked under my tongue and told me that it looked perfectly normal. I am having no pain with it, but when I put pressure on it with my finger it does hurt.
I'm 15 at the moment, and I'm really worried about it being a hypochondriac.

Thanks,

Matt.

Hello Matt

You are most probably discovering normal structures in your mouth. If your doctor has had a look and said it was normal, I would think so. Stop pressing it with your finger - a lot of things can hurt if you press them enough! You could post a photo of what you are concerned about and I will give you my opinion if I can.

Best wishes
