What Do Bumps In The Mouth Indicate?

I have a couple little bumps in my mouth that move around when i touch with my tongue. they do not hurt and are smaller than a pea. could this be a blocked duct or cyst? i do not really have any other symptoms and feel fine. I have had one of the bumps for about a year and there hasn't been any changes to it. the other bump i just discovered a week ago. I am worried that it is something serious...

Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

As per your complain, you have not explained the location of the bumps..
However bumps in mouth that are moveable when touched with tongue can be due to causes like soft tissues overgrowth like Fibroma..
While it can also be warts, skin tags, mole etc..

Consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigation like Biopsy if needed can be done for confirmation of cause and treatment can be done accordingly..

You can be advised surgical excision of the bumps that can be done with lazers these days and same can be sent for biopsy..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
