Under the tongue is a common spot for canker sores (shown here) -- small, painful, reddish bumps that come and go on their own. A single, painful bump at the tip could be transient lingual papillitis, “lie bumps,” which can pop up if your tongue gets irritated.

It may be felt as a bump or hard or soft lump anywhere on the gums. An infection, such as a bacterial infection or localized abscess, can appear as a mass on the gums. Oral cancers (gum or mouth cancer) or tumors of the teeth or jaw are rarer causes of a mass on the gums.

Skin tags don't grow on your tongue. However, several things that often resemble skin tags can grow on your tongue.

Eruptive lingual papillitis has the same distinct red or white painful bumps, but it's possibly caused by a virus. This means it's contagious. It's accompanied by swollen glands and fevers and is most common amongst children. It can take up to two weeks to resolve instead of a few days.

After all, a lump can, in rare cases, mean cancer. But not every bump or lump should cause concern or worry. The good news is that a majority of these lumps are harmless and not a cause for concern. A number of skin or medical conditions can cause lumps and bumps to appear on the surface or just below the skin.

Most swollen glands or lumps under the skin are not cause for concern. The glands (lymph nodes) on either side of the neck, under the jaw, or behind the ears commonly swell when you have a cold or sore throat. More serious infections may cause the glands to enlarge and become very firm and tender.

Questions and Answers Answer: This is entirely normal. The bumps are known as “mamelons.” They are there because they never wore away through natural wear and tear. When these teeth develop, they start off as three units with a lobe-like structure that bond into one. The chewing edge displays this fusion.

A tongue without any small bumps on the top may look glossy red. You may get it if you don't get enough of some nutrients like iron, folic acid, or B vitamins. Infections, celiac disease, or some medications can also cause it. If you have patches of smooth areas next to bumpy ones, it could be geographic tongue.
