Hello, I%E2%80%99m Wondering If I Should Go See My Doctor

Brief Answer:
Kindly asked for a picture or two and some more information

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to Ask a Doctor service,

Most of tongue's lesions are self limiting and there is nothing to worry about. It would be helpful if you upload a picture or two so I can evaluate them to better determine if you need to see your doctor or they are expected to go away on their own.

Furthermore, for how long have you had these bumps on your tongue?
Do they cause any pain or discomfort?
Do you have any other symptoms such as skin rash, fever, fatigue, etc?

I hope to hear back from you soon with the above information and if possible, a coupleof images.

King regards,

Brief Answer:
They do not seem worrisome

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome back,

Thank you for the reply and the uploaded image.

I carefully examined the lumps under your tongue. Considering as well that they have been there for around 2 years and are not changing much, these seem benign normal masses and are not worrisome. They are small, smooth and stable for a long time- these are all characteristics of benign lumps (not dangerous).

If you notice new ones are coming out or they are growing, you will have to have a check with your doctor. In this case, they may still be benign but to have your doctor feel them and check your neck and other areas in the mouth and do a thorough examination will be even more reassuring.

I hope this answers your query. I remain at your disposal in case further medical assistance is needed.
