29 yr old male / non-smoker / very light drinker Have had a kind of bubble thing at the back of tongue, going on for almost 4 years. It is highly movable, flexible . . . like a small balloon. It protrudes when I stick my tongue out as far as I can . . . it s located right where that flap of skin meets the tongue. It is squishy and pink . . . it doesn t hurt to the touch either. There isn t pain and I can t really tell it s there . . . hasn t gotten any larger either. I first noticed it after getting a chili pepper flake stuck in that part of my mouth . . . it s been there ever since. I think it s a swollen tastebud or something but sometimes I m a hypochondriac. I cannot afford to see anyone right now and I m just looking for whatever reassurance someone can provide. The surrounding tastebuds are slightly swollen on that side too. I have a slight crossbite with my molars, as the result of two missing incisors on my top bite. Additionally, one back molar feels a little jagged . . . maybe that s it?
