| White Cyst on bottom of tongue (pics)
| Login/Join |
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?

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. Best wishes Vinod Disclaimer: Please see your own dentist/doctor for a proper diagnosis as my words should not, in any circumstances, be taken as dental/medical advice.

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. Julia Howdilly doodilly, survivorinos! |
