What Causes A Pimple Like Bump Under The Tongue?

I have a small bump if u will - looks like a pimple (I have no skin issues) under my tongue (frenulum) on connective tissue between back of tongue n floor of mouth. I only noticed because I could feel the bump. It's small n appears to have a white head. I'm healthy 56 f - am under stress with a move/fathers passing innaug/ & sons health issues. Monogamous for thirty years, but have smoked most of my life. Concerns? See a doc? Or give a few days n see if maybe goes away? Thanks.

Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain pimple like bump under the tongue on the connective tissue that is lingual frenulum can be due to conditions like Traumatic ulcer caused due to injury caused by any hard foods or toothbrush bristles..
I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..
As of now you can start taking a Vitamin B complex tablet daily..
You can take anti inflammatory painkiller like Advil or Aleve if there is pain..
]Do warm saline gargles..
Avoid spicy and hot foods and drink plenty of water..
