Any idea what this lump is and should I be worried....

Posted , 4 users are following.

I have a lump on the side of my tongue I've had it for about 3 weeks about a week ago my tongue also dented above the lump.. It's slightly sore.. It's not an ulcer and is the same colour as my tongue strangely enough a few months ago I noticed a swelling under my tongue on the same side floor of mouth and a lump keeps appearing disappearing there also... Any help would be great as any time I google lump on tongue it brings up cancer and I was wondering if anyone knows more...

    Why haven't you seen a doctor? We can not give you a diagnosis on this site, merely support patients who have been diagnosed by a medical professional. You're obviously concerned about this lump so get yourself to your doctor and let him give you a diagnosis or referral. You'll feel a lot better when you know what you're dealing with. Good luck.

    I really think a cancerous mass wouldn't just vanish and then come back and then just go away again,people do radiotherapy to shrink a tumour a little bit but yours doesn't seem like a mouth cancer ,but you do have to show it to a doctor.
