What Do Small Red Spots On Tongue Indicate?
Hello, I have two small red spots on both the edges of my tongue. Don t have any specific texture and they don t hurt at all. I didn t even realize they were there until I was brushing my teeth in the mirror. The re both a bit smaller than a dime. I m 19 years old, weigh about 150 lbs., No medical conditions, no known family illnesses.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The small red spots over the tongue can be depapillation secondary to nutritional deficiency or secondary to the trauma by the teeth. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take multivitamins like vitamin B6, B12, A, AND D.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
