Suggest Treatment For Bumps On The Tongue Due To Prolonged Tobacco Usage

Hello doctors, I am a 19 year old male. I have been using smokeless tobacco for about two year. I noticed a little bump with my tounge, I can not see this bump and I can not feel this bump. It has been there for about two weeks. Now all of a sudden I have about 5 6 little white bumps under my tounge!

Hi...

Welcome to healthcare magic.

As you mentioned you have problem of white lesion under tongue that mostly because of tobacco habit..
After clinical examination of lesion diagnosis can occurs.
Leukoplakia or tissue growth or Candida infection look whites in colour but without oral examination of oral cavity diagnosis not occurs.
Consult a oral medicine specialist for further diagnosis.
Start a treatment as per reason behind it..

I hope this will help..
get well soon..
Thank you.
