What Causes Bleeding Of Red Spot In Tongue?
I have a small red spot on my tongue, it's been there for about a year now and wont go away. It sometimes will just randomly start bleeding for no reason. It's done that about 3 times since I've noticed it but it wont bleed very long. What can this be?

hello
the rd spot maybe , what is called as a hemangioma , which is a harmless growth of vascular tissue , but has the propensity to bleed. This is very common on the tongue and treatment includes surgical excision or injection of some chemicals into the swelling. please meet your ent doctor , for further advice and treatment.
