I have had this red spot on my tongue for years. It bled one time about 3 years ago when pregnant with my first child but it quite and I never had a problem again until several months ago when it bled for almost an hour one evening and I was again pregant. I started to think that whatever it was the bleeding was hormonal. It finally stopped after putting pressure on it and laying down. I did then go to my family doctor who said he had no idea what it was but to try a dermatologist. I did not have any more problems and being pregant I had many other appointments so I never pursured it further. Now I had my baby 9 weeks ago and last night out of the blue my tongue started bleeding but quickly stopped. Then today it stared again and I was really gushing. I could not get it to stop for an hour and 1/2. I finally got it to quit and ate some lunch shortly after and then it started bleeding again. It again took over an hour to stop and bled a lot. I waited an hour before drinking something but that seemed ot set it off again only this time it bled a little less and I got it to stop lot faster. I was about to go to the ER but since it seemed better I decided to forgo the ER and endless hours there. It is a Sunday so I cannot just call a DR. I am concerned about this and it coming back and I go back to work tomorrow after being on maternity leave for 9 weeks.
Any suggestions or ideas?
Thanks!!

Did you find out what this was and get it resolved? I’m dealing with the exact same thing. My dentist referred me to an oral surgeon who didn’t have a clue, but said he wasn’t too concerned since it hadn’t grown or changed shape in the time I’ve had it. He said I could biopsy it, but i decided to hold off because of the cost and his lack of alarm. Now it’s spontaneously bleeding again after a long stint of not bothering me. Also swollen a bit. Tia for any updates you can give.
