4 Month Old, Small White Bumps On Tongue, Reddish Blue Edge On One Side. Birth Mark?

Hello, my baby is now 4 months old and was born with a small raised white bump on her tongue . At looking today it appears to have a reddish blue edge at one side of it, is this ok and white exactly is the lump. The dr at hospital where she was born said it was like a birth mark and would perhaps disappear which it hasn t. I would be grateful for your opinion. Regards

Hi
This is looking like retention cyst. Did you observe any change in its color or size. Consult your Pediatritian again to assess what exactly is this and any need for intervention.
