Suggest Treatment For Pimple On Tongue Along With Bleeding
Question: I have a little pimple on my tongue and when it bleed ....it doesn't stop for over a hour
Brief Answer:
Bipolar Cautery under local anesthesia is a simple procedure.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for writing back.
1. Please get the bleeding lump cauterized with a bipolar cautery. This is a very simple procedure that can be done under local anesthesia.
2. At the same time, just before the cautery procedure, a small biopsy will help remove the tiny lump as well as get a biopsy.
3. The tongue examination is now necessary as bleeding for over an hour without stopping is not common. The tongue has a very rich blood supply, hence the amount of bleeding is not a cause for concern.
I hope that I have answered your query. If you have any more questions I will be available to answer them.
Regards.
