Suggest Treatment For An Outgrowth From Tip Of Tongue?

there is a small piece of skin hanging from the tip of my tongue and has been tere for 2 days or so. It really hurts anytime something hits it. should I pull it or cut it off? it isn't bleeding or anything. just a white piece of skin that is still connected and still has feelings.

thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the hanging tag of tissue could be because of the trauma to the tongue or it can be fungal infection. nothing to worry it will get cut by your tongue movements. if it is reccuring again and again then consult a oral physician to get it removed. you dont try to cut the tissue since the tongue is highly vascularised tissue it can cause severe bleeding. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
