whats on my tongue!?

OK ... I needed a title that would get someones attention but i seriously need some opinions here LOL


I've developed ... practically overnight... this blister on the top of my tongue, right beside my tongue ring (which i've had for over 3 years now and NEVER had a problem with ...)


I dont think its my tongue ring getting infected or anything cus i can pull on it and it doesn't hurt ... its almost like an infected taste bud ....but its seriously the size of a real blister


Is it possible that its just an infected taste bud and the reason its so swollen is cus its near the piercing hole?????

naw its not like unbearable pain ... it hurts some cus its raw, when i eat hard stuff .... but it mostly just feels like an infected taste bud ... oh well, if it dont go away soon i'll go to the doctor ... i've put myself on an all soft foods diet for the next few days to see if that helps

My guess is it's probably a canker sore. I get them on my tongue sometimes.

It usually lasts a couple of days. I've never taken anything for them, I usually just wait them out. Sorry.

I agree w/ Linda...sounds like a cold/cankor sore.

My 15 year old and my 26 year old both get canker sores on their gums and tongue.
