What Causes Growth Of Pink Skin Tag Under The Tongue?

I have a small, pink skin tag under my tongue, and it has a tiny white tip. It has been sore for the past week. I noticed it about a year ago, and my dentist said it was a skin tag. This past week, when it started hurting, I noticed it has grown a little bit since a year ago. I am going to my dentist next week to have it checked. Do skin tags under the tongue grow, and is the small white tip normal?

Hi,
Thanks for posting the query,

I suppose that you might have developed some kind of tissue growth this could be due some kind of trauma i would suggest you to consult to an Oral Surgeon get a checkup done, at home take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses, take multivitamin suplements, apply hexigel oral ointment topically over it,

Hope you find this as helpful,

Take care!

Hello and thanks for consulting HCM

A growth under the tounge can be anything.
As you are saying that it is since one year and increased in size.This needs a proper examination and diagnosis.

I would advice you to visit a dentist.if its a benign growth it can be removed surgically also.
