Dear
welcome to healthcaremagic
I just wanted to say that they are "circumvallate papillae" and why they have enlarged,
if systemic salivary gland problems can cause the enlarging of the circumvallate papillae.
you may had habit of chewing tobacco or smoking,
it may be due to infection
please consult your doctor nearby for details
thanks
