Is it worrying to have a small red spot under the tongue?

Question

Hello doctor,

I am a 49-year-old female. I am not sure if I should be concerned and see a doctor. For the past two to three weeks, I have had a small, red spot under my tongue. It is not much larger than a pin dot, and I think it has decreased in size. I have attached images for your reference. It does not hurt, nor does it feel lumpy or bumpy. I am currently on Mirtazapine. Can you please advise me as to what should be done?

Answer 1

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your post and images (attachment removed to protect patient identity)

This seems to be minor salivary glands, although the image is not clear. But, I do not see a reason why you should worry because there is no ulceration and no pain. There is no need to observe whether it increases or regresses.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

It is normal for health-conscious people to worry about minor things, which sometimes is good.

Regards.
