What Does A Lump On The Tongue Indicate?
I have a red lump in the center of my tongue which actually bled today. It doesn't hurt and doesn't seem to be growing. What can I do??
Noticed it after I burned the area on hot pizza, then cut it with a piece of hard candy (I am not a candy eater!)
Anyone there???
I thought this was free!! If you can't help me then I cannot afford to pay for an answer especially being on a limited income.
Thank you anyway.

Hello,
Red lump on the tongue can be a hematoma caused due to injury. You should, however, get it clinically checked so that exact diagnosis can be made. For now,
-You can do alternate warm and cool compresses over it.
-Avoid spicy and acidic foods.
-Take soft meals.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
