Suggest Treatment For Bump On Side Of Tongue

I have a very tiny bump on side of my tongue. It stays small and flesh colored but at times gets a bit larger and white colored. Then goes back to smaller and flesh colored. It's small sized about 1/4 of a pencil eraser. Dentist didn't mention it. Please let me know your thoughts.

Thank you

Hello and welcome.
Thanks for sharing your concern.

Since how long do you have this lesion ?
Does it increase in size by a seasonal pattern?you will have to keep a close observation in that.since there is no redness,swelling etc then you can be tension free but please monitor it for any changes.

If you find any inconvenience in speech or tongue functions then you can go for simple excision as a treatment.

It appears to be lymphatic tissue growth only.
Maintain good oral hygiene.Hope it helps.
Thanks.
Take care.
