What Are The Bumps On Tongue Which Started Bleeding After Using Mouth Wash?
Hi. 2 days ago my tongue began itching near the tip and to the right. After I checked in the mirror i realized I had a little bump. so fought I might have bitten my tongue. today however I was able to go to pharmacy and get some mouth wash. I brushed then rinsed with the mouth-wash. and my tongue started to bleed. i=I hand;t noticed how white my tongue was and after the rinse some of the whiteness went away but like i said it was bleeding, not excessively but enough to raise my concern. what could this be?

hello thanks for consulting at hcm..it could be due to biting on the tongue,,bleeling might have resulted, if not it might be post to the mouth wash usage,, may be resulting in chemical burn,, either ways plz stop the mouth rinse, gargle with salt saline and check with ur oral medicine r oral surgeon at the earliest,since any blood loss is quite alarming ,,so dont neglect ,,hope it helps,,tc
