Suggest Remedy For Recurred White Ring Shaped Bump On Tip Of Tongue

I have a white ringed-shaped sore/bump on the tip of my tongue. Feels like a dead taste bud does, but is not the same thing. I actually clipped it away two days ago and it has re-emerged. Feels like a canker sore does but does not bleed nor is it red or clearly an open sore. Distinct ring-shape about the size of a pin head. Is there a way I can treat this at home?

thanks for your query, i have gone through your question. the ring like lesion could be a benign migratory glossitis that is depapillation of the tongue. it can occur because of the nutritional deficiency, or it can be because of the stress. you need to take a nutritional supplements like multivitamins (becosule capsule) and consume green leafy vegetables. the lesion may occur in other laces also.. if it is symptomatic then you can use topical anesthetic and analgesics. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
