What Causes Bleeding In The Gums And Raised Lump On The Tongue?

My mother was brushing her tongue a couple of days ago and it began to bleed. Upon closer inspection, she noticed a raised red patch on the center of her tongue that looks like a piece of dough. She says it doesnt hurt and has no effect on her eating. What could this be?

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
This patch can be just a fibroma which might have occured because of trauma from something, or it can be just a tastebud of tongue.
Better once you visit a good dentist and get the patch properly examined, as right not there is no pain in it, but it might create any problem in future.
Hope it will help you.
