Avatar m tn He has been prescribed a steroid ointment (for topical use only ?????) which has reduced the size of the lump but it then returns when the ointment is not used. I have suggested she ask her GP to undertake blood tests fbc ue b12 folate but after that I am at a loss. Surgery has been suggested but his Mum is unlikely to be able to afford this and I am not sure its absolutely necessary. I have been sent some pictures of the offending lump if anyone is in a position to view them .
Avatar n tn s located in the valley of my mouth between the floor of the tongue and the gum line. It is below the tissue. It is painless and has there for 2 years or so. It has not gotten larger. I asked my dentist about it a year and a half ago...but she said it was likely nothing. Is this something I should be more concerned about? Does anyone know what this could be? I have a doctor's appointment next week for something unrelated....should I talk to my GP about this? Thanks so much!!!
Avatar m tn Hi. a couple of concerns i have. Everything was fine then all of the sudden under my tongue at the floor of mouth started hurting i think a gland or something, then it started hurting in the back right under the tongue to the side. I got to look in mirror and didn't see anything. Then a instant sudden lump started forming under my chin on my neck throat area. It felt like a tumor but would think tumor just doesn't pop up like that. The lump went down about 15 min after it formed.

Avatar n tn I have hard small lumps on the under-tongue where the duct lining and middle of the under tongue (that flap that kind of holds the tongue in place) since last Sunday-9 days ago. I also have a lump below my left jaw line that swelled that night that I noticed the hard nodules under my tongue. I have been very tired since then. My mom also said that my cheeks look bigger than normal..more like the jaw line - above it - and i feel no pain there.
Avatar f tn It all started when A small white lump appeared on the bottom of my mouth just underneath the tongue where the salivary glands are located. As a day went by, I became curious and afraid and did research and came to the conclusion that it could be a salivary stone forming. Out of stupidity and worry, I decided to squeeze the white lump and the lump started bleeding a bit but nothing serious.
1372123 tn?1280749911 I recently saw a dentist who did a Oral Exam and found a lump under my tongue. I had been complaining about my gland hurting and its not the first time, Infact its happened several times, since like 3 to 6 moths ago but never with like a cold or anything. I did see my doctor and she wants me to see a ENT specialist after my second visit with her cause it wont go away. Its been a month now since the discovery of this Lump. My Dentist wants me to see an Oral Surgeon.
Avatar f tn Very annoying and gradually the tongue has now come down however I have a very solid 1cm lump left on the under side of the actual tongue towards the tip. My researching of ventral under toungue comes up as possible cancer etc as it’s more than three weeks. Would tongue cancer start this way or could I just be an infection.
Avatar f tn Hello, A detailed history and examination is necessary for appropriate diagnosis and management of your condition. A cyst on the tongue presents as a lump under the surface of the tongue. A cyst on the tongue can cause difficulties with swallowing or breathing if they protrude from the surface and grow too large. A cyst on the tongue can become infected .Other possibility is a condition called transient lingual papillitis.
Avatar m tn The possible causes of white coating on tongue could be oral thrush which is an overgrowth of yeast in the mouth causing white spots to occur on the tongue, gums, roof of the mouth and the inside of the cheeks. It is usually seen in people with poor nutrition, who use inhaled steroids or are taking antibiotics and individuals with suppressed immune systems. It is best to get these bumps examined. Joint pains could possibly be due to arthritis, gout, tendinitis etc.

I got up to look in mirror then a instant sudden lump started forming under my chin on my neck throat area.

What could this be.?

Avatar n tn I have been doing as the doctor said but, the lump which at the moment was only under the skin, is now visible above the skin as well. It has a pimple like head but a bit bigger and it showing above the skin as well as being under the skin. Is there anything I can do in this situation, the pain is sometimes unbearble due to its location. Should I get it checked by another doctor?
Avatar n tn t have much for stuble. I also got 1 very small white lump under my tongue ( right on the tie of tongue i think it is called). It has been 3 days now she is fine now but my white spot is still there and only sore if i rub it or touch it but not really bad. What could this be?
Avatar n tn I looked in my mouth and noticed a lump underneath my tongue and it was very painful to the touch and eating. Now this lump extends the back of my mouth going under my tongue and then connects to the back of my tongue. The pain is now constant and only lessons with ibuprofen. I now also have pain going to my ear and to the back of my head when I move my tongue a certain way, so I have to be careful not to move it that way.
Avatar f tn While putting lotion on my neck, I feel a tender lump directly under my chin. It is clearly above the thyroid. I wouldn't even consider it's location as being on my "neck". It is right under my chin before my neck/throat area begins. Please help!
Avatar n tn now it is back... it is right under the tip almost at the front of it on the underside. it is irritated also, so always sore, but that may be because it is always scraping my teath because of where it is. anyways i also had a spot "white" lack of pigment in a circle appear to the right of my right eye. not sure if these coinside with each other.
Avatar n tn Hi. I have had a long standing problem with a feeling that I have a limp in my throat - chocking sensation, like when you are holding back crying. I have always assumed it was anxiety/stress and have been prescribed xanax for when it is really bad. I also have had a hiatal hernia for many years and take nexium. Is the hernia and acid relux possibly a cause for this 'lump in the throat' feeling? What can be done besides taking an addictive med like xanax? Thanks for any advice!
Avatar n tn Men are much more likely to develop an inguinal hernia than women because of a potential weakness in the abdominal wall at the groin. If a lump in the scrotum is an inguinal hernia, the impulse from a cough may be felt in the scrotum. " "A soft lump in the scrotum, especially if you can get your fingers between it and the testicle, is most likely to be a hydrocele. This is a collection of sterile fluid in the cord attached to the testicle, which is invariably harmless.
Avatar n tn Yesterday I noticed what seems to be a lump(swelling) on the right lateral side of the tongue, very deep inside(right where the portion of the tongue that you can move ends). The thing is composed of 3-4 little things(folliate papillae?). It is of the same colour as is the tongue on the lateral and you can easy move it around and even separate the 3-4 components. My question is: does this resemble tongue cancer in any way, or it could be foliate papillitis:inflamation of the foliate papillae.
Avatar m tn For years I have had a lump under my tongue, not on the underside of the tongue but the soft area that would be a part of the tissue under the tongue/chin where there are glands. It is a lump that can be felt by the tip of the tongeu but not by feeling with a finger on the outside. I had always wondered if this might be an infection and had mentioned it to my old dentist. He commented that it did show up as a shadow on an xray but made no diagnosis or suggestion as to what it might be.
