What Causes Red Bright Spots Under The Tongue?

It seems that really tiny blood vessels under my tongue burst sometimes creating tiny (smaller than the head of a pin) red bright spots that go away after a few days. I don t think I am injuring that part of my tongue when chewing or anything. Why might this be happening?

Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM,

Read your query, as you have red bright spots under tongue this can be due to fungal infection (mycosis) , large blood vessels called varicosities , due to salivary gland disorder as salivary gland is situated at floor of the mouth under tongue , Nutritional deficiency or if you have habit of smoking it can be related to that also .
Dont be worried so much but you must consult dentist to rule out the cause of bright red spots under tongue .In meantime you can apply ointment like Dologel or Mugel if the inflammation remains.

Hope it will help you.
Wishing you good health.

Regards,
Dr. Priyanka tiwari
