Hi,

Bumps at the back of the tongue if not painful or annoying then they are not due to any pathology and can be most probably due to a normal anatomic structure that is Circumvallate papillae.

Circumvallate papillae are large papillae present at the back one-third of the tongue and are present in typical V shape.

They are raised and large and can at times be misunderstood to be due to some pathology.

So you need not worry as I do not think there is anything pathological. However, a clinical exam can further confirm so please click pictures and send it to me so that I can advise you more precisely.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Honey Arora, Dentist
