I have a black vein on the bottom side of my tongue. I was wondering what it was and if it could be dangerous?

it depends.  if you have darker colored skin this is normal, because of the pigmintation (yes there is pigmintation in the mouth).  has this always been there?  if so, no worries.  but if you're truely concerned, go see your dentist.

This is concerning...I would see a doctor ASAP..could be a spider bite but not sure..some bites can lead to necrosis (sloughing off of tissue) so like I suggested better not to further postpone consultation with your doctor or the ER

No. Go to see your doctor, it could be something simple like haemorroids or something more serious. Don't put it off go as soon as you can to the doctor

I believe the only ones you can tell are the superficial blood clots, which means they are closer to the surface.  It will be tender, possibly a lump and it could be red around the area.  If you believe that you may have one you should go to the doctor.

That sounds like varicose veins. I've got a website you can check out. I know that they are 1. painful! 2. able to be fixed by surgery, and some insurance companies will pay, it is medical as well as cosmetic. Good luck to you.\nhttp://www.healthatoz.com/healthatoz/Atoz/ency/varicose_veins.jsp

Usually, seeing your veins through your skin is nothing to worry about, just a case of either big veins that are lying very close to the skin or very translucent skin ( that is usually hereditary ).  But, if this is a new condition that you just noticed, did it go away after the massive study session or is it still the same ?  Sometimes, your veins will react to a largish dose of adrenaline ( fight or flight response ) by dilating ( getting wider ).  The adrenaline would be released probably because you're panicking about the final.  Relax.  Try Bach's Flower Rescue Remedy.  Try catnip tea.  Try sleep.  If the veins don't calm down soon, I would think about seeing a vascular specialist.  P.S.  They could look dark blue, blue/green/ purple or even black.  Really cool, huh  !

It's an enlarged vein underneath the toungue.

The black blood is just clotted.  It's nothing to worry about.  My periods started doing the same thing when I took the birth control pill, and it's normal.\n\nI hope I helped!

If someone was to do so, it would be up and down along the vein, BUT I wouldn't reccomend it in any capacity. Thinking about cutting yourself with the intent to kill is serious. Please seek counseling.

It is still bulimia.As for harmful,it can erode your esophagus,strip the enamel on your teeth,cause broken blood vessels and cause ulcers, never mind the malnutrion.

It might just be a canker sore. If you aren't in pain I wouldn't really worry about it, but if you are really concerned, then see your doctor.

More likely you bit your tongue whilst it was swollen. a puncture wound caused by a routine dental instrument would be unnoticeable after 1 week.\nIf you don't believe you had a latex allergy then buy a pair of latex gloves from a pharmacy and test on your mouth.\nBTW bilateral lingual nerve damage is pretty difficult to achieve even if you wanted to!

Yeah it was in the dark and I had a sharp knife and some food on a plate in my lap. I was talking to someone and accidentally sliced into my hand. \nMy leg started to feel wet and then my hand and when the light got put on I noticed it was blood. \n\nI started to freak out then. It is kind of funny now but the cut was quite bad. It is really weird that I didn't notice it.\n\nWhat did you do then? ;-)

If there is something wrong with your tongue then you should get a tongue surgery. If there is nothing wrong with your tongue then just take a very strict tutor. Strict tutors make you study harder.

You could still be bleeding a little bit and what you're tasting is blood. I had my wisdom teeth cut out and I bled for about 3 days. when I began brushing again I was careful not to run the toothbrush over the sore areas.

Sometimes the needle scrapes the side of the vein and there is a tiny leakage. If it really does hurt why not ring NHS Direct (if you are in the UK) and ask on there?\n\n0845 46 47
