How To Get Rid Of Canker Sore On Bottom Of Tongue?
Hi this week sometime I noticed what felt like just a regular canker sore on the bottom of my tongue but as i looked closer at it, it is a what appears to be a small piece of skin (small hangy ball looking) hanging from the bottom of my tongue. it is painful and i feel it on my teeth when i talk or eat. any idea what this is or how to get rid of it?

Hello thanx for consulting at hcm..the small hanging ball like skin could be fibroma which might be due constant micro-trauma caused by sharp teeth surface touching surface of tongue.. Treatment involves firstly trimming of sharp teeth surfaces,if any..secondly you could go for excision of that growth,since it is painful and is troubling you during day to day activities..please consult a oral physician for checkup and treatment..hope it helps...take care...
