hi,
Change of color,irritation or raised bumps on the tongue might be natural.
They are known as papillae and those on the back of the tongue are larger than those on the front.

However, if the irritation or color or bumps on the tongue appear to be growing or changing they should be investigated to determine what is wrong.

The other causes could be tongue bite or burn,allergy to food or drug,canker sore.oral thrush etc.

In most cases these things could be normal on your tongue and do not require further investigation from a doctor.

The bumps may even get larger or become inflamed in the case of infections or injury.

If the bumps appear to be discolored,very large or have uneven borders you should consult ENT specialist.
