How to treat red raised bump at the back of the tongue?
Patient: i have red raised bumps on the back of my tongue and my tounge is begining to look like a road map. The grooves started down the center and are branching off. The grooves are so deep that  strawberrie seeds get buried and stuck. i have scared myself into tounge cancer.  (darn internet) My dentist named 2 diseases that he was familar with and neither one fit my symptoms......which are the deep groves in center and now reaching out to the side of my tongue, the red bumps in the back of tongue, everything i eat stings the inside of my mouth. im thinking that my body nees a certain vitamin????? I can not run my tongue over my teeth as it feels like i am tearing my tongue. i also wonder what kind of doctor do i see......ENT?????? this is very uncomfortable ... brushing teeth is the worst. thank you Doctor: hello thanks for consulting at hcm..based on ur symptoms it could be either fissured tongue or geographic tongue,, either way u need a through blood tests,,and apply topical anesthetics for prevention of pain under the prescription of ur dentist,,u can also take a consult with ur internal medicine specialist,, keep ur tongue clean by brushing with a soft brush,,hope it helps,,tc
