i've been seeing someone lately and recently(almost 2 weeks ago) kissed him for the first time, we've kissed about every other day, (as often as i see him) ever since then, 2 days ago i noticed little bumps on the tip of my tongue that hurt A LOT! i constantly feel it.

To top it off my wisdom teeth are coming out, so i used to kind play (with my tongue) on the gum over the tooth that is trying to come out, so the pain is UNBEARABLE!

tonight i looked in the mirror and noticed really big (in comparison) bumps on the bacK of my tongue, there might be like 5-7 bumps.

Im freaking out bc i don't have insurance, I should be getting insurance next month thanks to my job however im wondering, could this be serious? COuld this have to do with him? fyi: i have never performed oral sex. im really scared though.. any advice?

in acupuncture the tongue is a very important way to diagnose. the back of the tongue indicates kidney. bumps and a whitish film indicates a problem with kidney. have it checked

Hi, I have recently been having pains inside my mouth, pretty much because of my tongue. It seems to have little red spots on my tongue, but then i also noticed that i had red lumps on the back of my tongue. The spots on my tougue are pretty painful, it hurts to eat. The day after it started, i got a cold sore on my lip. I am wondering if there is anything for me to worry about? Or is this just a sign of cold sores in the mouth. If anyone could help me out, i would greatly appreciate it. Thank you

I have had the same issue for many years and never bothered to check. The doctors have never mentioned anything. I have passed most tests for immigration which include HIV, TB, Syphillis and so on. I rarely get sick, However 15 years ago I failed the TB skin test and got treatment and passed many years thereafter.
What would it be???
I just feel awful because I do brush and clean that part of the tongue but it bothers me. Anyone knows what one can do get rid of them. Any medicine one can buy without spending thousands of dollars going to the doctor for check ups?

HELP SOMEBODY

ANYONE KNOWS WHAT THESE WOULD BE?
I have passed all tests including but not limited to Syphillis, HIV, and others.
But I have found myself not getting rid of these small tiny lumps behind the head of my penis.
They are behind the shaft when the skin covers. I am not circumsized. I have had them for over twenty years. I have three children and they are all have been cleared even before birth.
I notice that sometimes they go away and few are left, then all of a sudden I find that I have more.
Anyone with some help and what can be the problem and cure. Anyone has ever had them and got rid of them. They are quite embarrassing when someone has to do the thing.

PLEASE HELP ANYONE WITH THIS CONDITION BEFORE.

I think I have an Allergy to something in Sour Skittles. Here's why.

I brought a packet of Sour Skittles to school one day. During science, I eat a few, around 5. A few minutes later, the skin on my throat gets itchy. I scratch it alot, but I stop, knowing it will pass, and the itchy feeling passed.
I go to Gym, and while changing into uniforms, I eat about 8 more. When heading into the Gym, my throat has the same feeling as it did in Science- just a moderate itchy feeling. My gym teacher tells me to put cold water on it and let it air dry. I do so, and stop scratching it, and the feeling goes away once more.
After eating a school lunch of a chicken patty, grape juice, potato wedges, and a chocolate eclair, I eat the rest of the Sour Skittles-about 13 or so of them. When walking to my next class, Reading, the itching sensation comes back-but this time, it is worse. I would rate it a 7.5 on a berable scale, one being extremely berable, 10 being TOTALLY unberable.

While in the Reading room before class, I itch it a little, but I bravely stopped itching, knowing that the sooner I stopped itching it, the sooner it will go away. It did, after a few minutes of torturing me! My eyes were almost watering at this point.

A few minutes ago, I ate dinner. When I was chewing, I felt something weird on my tounge. I went to the bathroom, and looked in the mirror. To my surprise, I had these bumps on the back of my tounge, almost down in my throat. They don't hurt, but I feel them while chewing. Does anyone know what this may be?

I am having the exact same problem. There are bumps on the back of my tongue going all the way down in my throat. I am constantly feeling the urge to throw up. My doctor thought I had thrush so I did the oral rinse for 18 days plus 10 days of Diflucan. NO RELIEF. Went to the ENT who said it wasn't thrush, it was hairy tongue. She said the bumps on my throat are from acid reflux and upped my protonics. This all started after I had some kind of sore throat/virus about 6 weeks ago. It's driving me insane.

OK I see alot of people have this issue, but no one seems to have the answer. For those of you that went to the doctor, what did they say? Serious? How do you get rid of them?

Why would you post the same message twice 'Guest'? Do you think if you reword it then people will think it's not the same person and therfore reply? I have the same thing and if it is really bothering you so much that you need to double-post (which is considered poor Netiquette) then you should visit your GP immediately to resolve your concerns.

pretty sure they are called Circumvallate papillae. Look up images, I was worried about mine til I saw the pics.
