What causes bleeding in the gums and raised lump on the tongue?
Patient: My mother was brushing her tongue a couple of days ago and it began to bleed.  Upon closer inspection, she noticed a raised red patch on the center of her tongue that looks like a piece of dough.  She says it doesnt hurt and has no effect on her eating.  What could this be? Doctor: Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic. This patch can be just a fibroma which might have occured because of trauma from something,  or it can be just a tastebud of tongue.Better once you visit a good dentist and get the patch properly examined, as right not there is no pain in it, but it might create any problem in future.Hope it will help you.
