What Could Small Piece Of Skin Hanging From Bottom Of Tongue Indicate?
I have what looks like a small piece of skin (?) hanging from the bottom of my tongue. It doesn t hurt but I am still worried. It s the same color as my tongue and is very small. It s like the texture on the bottom, but maybe I bit it off by mistake? Will this go away by itself?

Hello, thank you for consulting with HCM.
This is a normal finding of the tongue, which is called as lingual frenum, so there is nothing to worry about it.
But still if you feel some kind of pain in it then you should visit your dentist for examination of it.
Hope it will help you.
