Bump

[Bazile]

Small whitish circular bump, about 2mm in diameter , on top of tongue ,near the front.

Any ideas what it might be ?

[cupid04]

Could be just a mouth ulcer. Try putting some tincture on it like 'Frador'. It might sting, but it works.

[cupid04]

...Or some adult teething gel...if you've got any.

[flump1]

As Cupid says Bazile, especially if the thing stings?

[Sqad]

Almost certainly a benign papilloma from your description.
No big deal......it will go probably after bursting.

[Sqad]

It should be painless.
I wouldn't put anything on it.

[Bazile]

One side of it can be lifted up ( like it's on a hinge ) showing the cavity on the tongue where it lies ( if you follow what i mean .

[Sqad]

I do see what you mean..............and as a papiloma, the this will happen, the white bit peeling off and the bare area healing within a week.

[Bazile]

Thanks sqad ( cupid/flump ).

Sqad - i see that you were on weekend duty - unsual for you consultants - isn't it ? :-)

[Sqad]

Bazile....LOL

Retired now BUT.....

When i was in NHS my juniors took over the weekend.

When I was part-time NHS/Private..........i shared the weekends.

When i was full time private ............I was available every weekend.

See my point?...;-)

[Bazile]

Indeed yes - you stuffed the coffers full - and your'e now emptying the coffers at a leisurely pace on a beach in spain - in one hand a glass of sangria and in the other , a lighted , His Majesty's Reserve :-)
