Hi everyone. I have had this white cyst-like thing smack-dab in the middle ventral portion of my tongue for several months. It looks like a pimple and virtually changes shape everyday. I have cut it off before with scissors (i know bad) but it just grew back in the same fashion. Its pretty annoying. It has the appearance of a white head and bleeds when I attempt to remove it. I went to my doctor and he said it was nothing. Well it is something because i play with it all day long and it's really bothersome. Ill post a pic.

Hi alecriff

Please ask your doctor to refer you to an oral and maxillofacial surgeon for a proper diagnosis. Let us know how you get on.

Ok will do, but for now do you have any guesses as to what it may be?

Do you have any idea of what it may be? And can you see the pictures?

Can't see any picture.

Here are pictures

Hi

It looks like a papilloma or sebaceous gland on the undersurface of the tongue. Ask your dentist to refer you to the local maxillofacial specialist for an excision biospsy for a definitive diagnosis. Let us know how you get on.

And PLEASE stop trying to remove it yourself.

Yah since i cut it off. which i should have never done. It formed into a white "bubble" of sorts. I will go down and then come back with in a couple days. Really annoying. Guess I should make an appointment with my dentist?

Absolutely go to the dentist, especially since it seems to recur. If your dentist can't/won't do anything, get a referral to an oral surgeon. We take such things very seriously 'round here.

Let us know how this turns out.
