December 9, 2017

Many people have encountered such a problem as pimples on the tongue. They always cause discomfort: they interfere with eating, interfere with speech, itch and cause throbbing pain. What does such a phenomenon mean, how to treat and prevent relapse, see the detailed material from the UltraSmile.ru editors.

Pimple on tongue

To begin with, we would like to note that pimples in the standard sense cannot appear on the tongue due to the absence of sebaceous glands. However, due to their external similarity, such pathological formations are called acne. In addition, in no case should you fight them with alcohol solutions to cauterize them, because this way you will damage the papillae - the main component of the tongue mucosa.

On a note!

Pimples come in different origins, which determines the further fight against them. While some of them may appear, for example, due to a burn to the mucous membrane and pose no danger, others require immediate treatment.

Why does plaque form and pimples appear on the tongue?

If pimples appear on the tongue, the main thing to understand is that they cannot be on this organ due to the absence of sebaceous glands in this area. Those formations that people mistake for pimples are filled with pus.

Essentially, these are minor swellings or sores. They look like pimples, which is why they are called that. They can be whitish, pink, yellow and red. The color depends on the complexity of the disease and its etiology.

White pimple on the side of the tongue

The main reasons for the appearance of pimples on the tongue:

• injuries and other damage;
• allergy;
• diseases of internal organs;
• candidiasis;
• stomatitis;
• herpes.

Often a person notices a light coating on his tongue. This signals the presence of thrush.

Diagnostics

A specialist detects pathology during a visual examination. Not only the upper part of the tongue may be affected; a pimple under the tongue may also appear (depending on the type of disease). Depending on the accompanying symptoms, additional examination is prescribed.

A study of blood, urine, saliva, smears and scrapings from the oral mucosa, microscopy of scrapings, and an RPR test are carried out. To identify the pathogen, RIF, RCA, PCR, ELISA, RSK, bacteriological, mycological or virological, cytological, histological, biochemical, serological examination are prescribed. Sometimes, before a final diagnosis is made, symptomatic treatment is prescribed to make you feel better.

Reasons, depending on location

Based on the location where the pimple appears, you can determine the cause of its occurrence.

On the tip

If small white or red rashes appear on the tip of the tongue, this indicates the presence of diseases of the internal organs or digestive system.

A white pimple may pop up at the site of a microtrauma. This is due to infection getting into the wound. Fans of seeds, candies, pistachios, nuts and chips are more susceptible to the appearance of these formations. Solid food can scratch the delicate surface of the mucous membrane.

Acne often occurs due to an exacerbation of herpes due to a deterioration in the body's protective functions. In this case, you need to strengthen your immune system and start taking vitamins.

A pimple can also indicate the presence of a chronic form of stomatitis. The person probably has tooth decay. The constant presence of a source of infection in the mouth necessarily leads to the appearance of stomatitis.

Without quality treatment, stomatitis can become chronic, exacerbating regularly.

Side

A pimple on the side of the tongue can pop out even from the slightest injury. But, as a rule, this is a consequence of stomatitis. Poor oral hygiene or eating poorly washed vegetables, fruits and berries are also considered causes of pimples.

At the root, closer to the throat

Pimples make it difficult to swallow or even speak normally.
They become inflamed and cause a lot of pain. The causes of ulcers also lie in stomatitis, fungal infections, sore throat or pharyngitis.

If an ulcer appears on the root of the tongue, then other accompanying symptoms should be analyzed. This could be elevated body temperature, enlarged lymph nodes, or allergies.

With a sore throat, pimples on the tongue near the throat form very often. They hurt and make it difficult to talk. At the same time, a person may have enlarged tonsils and lymph nodes located under the lower jaw. In other words, ulcers and high fever are accompanying symptoms of sore throat, tonsillitis or pharyngitis.

Pimples cannot be ignored, as in particularly advanced forms they can interfere with normal breathing, which can lead to suffocation.

Etiology [causes]

Why do pimples appear on the tongue? There are many reasons for the appearance of this unpleasant condition. The number of only the most common ones exceeds a dozen, and the total number is several dozen.

Injuries

If the tongue or mucous membrane is injured, a pimple may appear in the affected area. It is not difficult to connect this fact with previous events. Does the white pimple on your tongue hurt? Trouble can be caused by roasted chocolate, seeds, nuts or caramels, hard or spicy foods, as well as biting, opening bottles with teeth, a number of dental procedures or piercing. A slightly watery pimple can quickly go away on its own or cause complications.

Allergy

A pimple on the tip of the tongue may appear due to an allergic reaction to various foods and drinks, medications, cosmetics (lipstick, lip gel), and oral care products. An allergic reaction can be of any severity, localized or diffuse. White and red pimples on the tongue can have not only an allergic, but also a combined cause when an infection is attached.

Papillitis

A red pimple on the tongue, if small formations on the surface of the tissue of the tongue - “papillae” - become inflamed, giving it a lumpy texture, then this causes significant discomfort. A single formation can be transferred, but when there are many of them, it is impossible to do without treatment. Pimples on the tip of the tongue in this case are very annoying. The cause of papillitis is an infectious lesion of the oral cavity, most often it is gingivitis or glossitis, but it can also be caused by injury or a minor burn (for example, tea).

Contamination of the mucous membrane due to improper care

The surface of the tongue may suffer due to poor oral care, which provokes an unfavorable microbiome situation, infection and other pathologies when pimples appear on the tongue. If the situation is neglected, then treatment cannot be avoided.

Aphthous stomatitis

Does the white pimple on your tongue hurt? This is stomatitis - inflammation of the oral mucosa, causing pathological changes in the tongue, and accompanied by the formation of aphthae (erosions), pain, difficulty eating, enlargement of regional lymph nodes, hyperemia of the mucous membrane, burning, and low-grade fever. If the pimple is white-yellow in color, then it is prone to relapse, and after it heals, it recurs again. If the immune system is strong, then the disease can be a one-time occurrence, otherwise aphthous stomatitis takes a chronic form, accompanied by systematic exacerbations.

Oral thrush (candida stomatitis)

If a white pimple is visible on the side of the tongue or in another place, then a fungal infection of the oral cavity is to blame, accompanied by a whitish rash on the tongue, called candidiasis or candidal stomatitis. In addition to rashes, there is redness and swelling of the mucous membrane, dryness, burning, problems with eating, pain, inflammatory processes in the lips (cracks, jams). Candidiasis, as a rule, appears when the immune system is weakened, there is a lack of vitamins and other provoking conditions. Only in this case does their activation occur; these fungi are considered opportunistic and are always present in the body, being part of the microflora.

Viral infections and STDs

If a pimple appears on the tongue, the cause may be viral infections (ARVI, colds, sore throat, flu), which are often accompanied by a rash in the mouth. There are several STDs that lead to the appearance of pimples in the oral cavity. The most common of them are herpes, syphilis, and gonorrhea.

Does the white pimple on the tip of your tongue hurt? These are syphilitic aphthae of a roseolous-papular nature in the oral cavity. Occurs with syphilis localized in this area. Initially, a chancre appears on the mucous membrane, surrounded by infiltrate. As the inflammatory process progresses, the pimple begins to disintegrate, gradually disappearing. Pimples under the tongue on the frenulum appear least often. The disease has a chronic course, occasionally reminding itself. The pain syndrome is almost not expressed, but discomfort is present, acne is rare, but more often papules are numerous.

With gonorrheal lesions of the oral cavity, in addition to rashes on the tongue and the mucous membrane of the palate, there is inflammation and enlargement of the tonsils, hyperemia, low-grade fever, bad breath, pain in the throat and when swallowing, loss of strength, dirty white coating on the tongue, the rashes have a white yellow color and purulent contents, which come out when the formations spontaneously open. Pimples on the tongue on the tip and in other places burst and hurt. The disease can have varying degrees of severity, which affects the severity of symptoms.

Herpetic rashes on the tongue (herpetic stomatitis), including pimples on the tip of the tongue, are inflammatory and infectious in nature. Inside them there is a clear liquid that comes out when opened, there is slight tissue necrosis, they hurt. In addition to aphthae on the tongue, the disease is accompanied by low-grade fever, enlarged nearby lymph nodes, increased salivation, bleeding gums, unpleasant odor, general intoxication, problems with eating, decreased appetite, and nausea. The culprit of the disease is a herpes infection.

Oral cancer

Pimples in the mouth can also have a more dangerous cause. This is a malignant cancer. The mucous membrane and deeper layers of soft tissue are affected. The pathology is dangerous because it does not produce symptoms at an early stage. Only a few pay attention to a minor nodule, which only in the last stages enlarges and becomes painful. Pimples on the root of the tongue, the causes of which are oncological, can be multiple, and not single. In this case, the pain already radiates to nearby areas, and a secondary infection occurs. The pimple under the tongue on the frenulum hurts, there is increased salivation, loss of strength, loss of appetite, unpleasant odor, enlargement of nearby lymph nodes, headache and ear pain, and ophthalmological problems.

Kawasaki disease

The pathology is rare and most often affects preschool children. In addition to rashes on the side of the tongue and on the oral mucosa, the pathology is accompanied by fever, ophthalmological and cardiovascular pathologies, damage to the arteries and joints, and the lymphatic system. A rash on the surface of the tongue is more disturbing than pimples under the tongue. The disease is life-threatening, especially if complications of the cardiovascular system occur (high probability of myocardial infarction), is difficult to tolerate, and has three stages (acute, subacute, recovery). Sometimes the gastrointestinal tract and urinary system are affected. In addition to rashes on the tongue and other areas of the oral cavity, there is dryness, hyperemia, bleeding gums, damage to the lips, sore throat, and enlarged regional lymph nodes.

Scarlet fever

In addition to damage to the oral cavity by mucopurulent rashes and fibrinous-necrotic processes, there is fever, intoxication, loss of strength, sore throat-like inflammation, muscle pain, enlarged lymph nodes, redness of the tongue and a gray-white coating on it, tachycardia, nausea, rash on the body, fragility of blood vessels. The disease can sometimes occur immediately in a chronic form, bypassing the acute phase; the symptoms in this case are not clearly expressed.

Pimples on the tongue and mucous membranes in this case are sporadic and disappear quickly, the general condition is aggravated by minor intoxication and weakness. The opposite case also occurs when the disease occurs in a very severe form, accompanied by a high probability of death. In this case, it has rapid development, deep intoxication, small small pimples on the tongue, high fever, heart failure. If there is hemorrhage, then a black pimple appears on the tongue.

Other provoking factors

There are other reasons that provoke the appearance of rashes on the tongue. These are various types of sore throats and stomatitis, complications of ENT diseases, gastrointestinal pathologies, marginal lifestyle, smoking, hormonal fluctuations and endocrine diseases. When a pimple appears on the tongue, it can be dangerous. White pimples on the tongue of an adult may appear due to smoking.

Causes, depending on the color of the rash

Color can also help determine the cause of an unpleasant phenomenon:

• white . White sores indicate the presence of thrush or stomatitis (sometimes they have a yellowish tint);
• red _ Red pimples can occur due to a burn, the development of herpes, or simply be a sign of an allergy. In this case, the mucous membrane around the blisters is often red. It is inflamed and swollen. The pimples may ooze clear fluid. Other causes of such formations may be inflamed taste buds, Kawasaki syndrome and ulcers;
• yellow _ Small yellow pimples can be caused by ARVI or herpes. They are considered to be symptoms of a venereal disease, accompanied by blisters, often burgundy in color, but when the formation dries, they acquire a yellow crust;
• black . Black formations on the tongue occur due to mechanical trauma (blackening of a pimple is a consequence of damage to the smallest blood vessels). They can also be caused by hyperpigmentation, fibroids, oncology, or be the result of an allergic reaction.

Red rashes

Red pimples on the tongue often indicate the development of an inflammatory process, namely a disease such as glossitis. In appearance, they are small, bloody, inflamed, painful spots. The reason for the appearance may be:

• eating spicy and hot food;
• allergy;
• herpes virus;
• excessive drinking.

In such cases, when a pimple appears on the tongue, treatment is impossible without giving up this type of food. It is necessary to thoroughly clean the oral cavity. In a few days everything will be back to normal.

If a pimple is dark in color and painful on your tongue, the cause may be hidden in a burn. In such a situation, swelling of the papillae occurs, resulting in the feeling that an unpleasant rash has appeared. After some time, the pimple on the tip goes away. Due to infection, it can form under the tongue. A pimple under the tongue on the frenulum is often observed with inflammation of the throat, swollen lymph nodes and hyperthermia.

If you are bothered by painful pimples on your tongue, what should you do?

Treatment methods for formations on the tongue will depend on what triggered their occurrence.
If it is an infection, then you can get rid of acne only by destroying pathogenic microorganisms. Antibiotics are used for this. A rash on the tongue caused by a cold requires treatment with antiviral drugs. But candidiasis needs to be treated with antifungal medications. Some types of acne go away without medication.

But if they are painful and there is a burning sensation, then this indicates a serious pathology. To completely eliminate the symptoms, as well as to prevent the appearance of acne, you can try some alternative medicine.

Transparent rashes

The herpes virus often affects the area near the lips, but often jumping up is observed on all mucous surfaces, including the oral cavity. In these cases, a transparent pimple appears in more than one instance. It is necessary to start treating herpes on time, since over time the disease can cover the entire body. The doctor will prescribe antiherpetic therapy. It is carried out using tablets and local medications, such as:

A pimple on the tongue of a small child hurts: how to treat?

The mucous membrane of a small child's tongue is very exposed and thin. Therefore, almost every ailment in the oral cavity may result in an unexpected reaction in the form of tiny and painful pimples. There are a number of diseases, the main manifestation of which is considered to be the appearance of a small rash.

Acne has two mechanisms of formation:

1. under the influence of harmful microorganisms and bacteria, separation of the mucous membrane of the tongue occurs. Fluid accumulates under the top layer of the organ and small bubbles form. If they are not infected, the contents of the pimples will be transparent. When harmful microorganisms get inside, suppuration is possible - the bubble becomes white. If blood penetrates the liquid, then this formation takes on a bright scarlet or burgundy hue. Pimples can open under the influence of mechanical factors and painful ulcers appear in their place;
2. Often the cells' response to the inflammatory process is the popping up of whitish and reddish pimples. They look more like a normal rash. But in fact, these are simply enlarged papillae of the tongue.

In the treatment of acne on the tongue, regardless of the reasons that triggered its occurrence, there are common features:

1. mandatory and scrupulous oral hygiene. After each meal, you need to treat acne with an antiseptic solution;
2. exclusion of hot and sour foods from the diet of a small child. It is important that the food is well prepared and does not provoke further injury to the mucous membranes;
3. It is prohibited to squeeze out or open formations. This can lead to complications in the baby. His condition may worsen;
4. In such a situation, you should drink plenty of water. This helps remove toxins and allergens from the body.

If painful acne causes discomfort, topical medications with anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects may be prescribed. For example, Solcoseryl, Metrogyl Denta.

When the cause of the rash lies in a sore throat, then you need to take antibacterial agents in combination with antiseptics. Treatment of allergic reactions consists of eliminating the negative effects of the allergen and taking antihistamines.

Dental adhesive paste Solcoseryl

For herpes that occurs on the mucous membranes, you need to take antiviral medications. Candidiasis is treated with drugs with a strong antifungal effect.

Before you start treating acne, you need to find out the reasons for its appearance. All subsequent treatment will depend on this. Only a dentist can make a correct diagnosis. Incorrect therapy can be dangerous for a young child.

Species diversity

A pimple or a certain number of pimples that pop up on the tongue can be of different colors:

Small pimples on the tongue are painful and cause discomfort. The color of the formations is determined by the reasons that provoked their appearance.

A yellow or white pimple, especially in multiple manifestations, is characteristic of candidiasis and stomatitis. These diseases are different in nature and therefore require different approaches to treatment.

Pimples due to anemia and weakened immunity

Against the background of candidiasis or thrush, a white coating forms on the tongue with a cheesy consistency, and a pimple appears on the tip of the tongue, on its body and in the sublingual cavity of the same color. Sometimes plaque and yellow pimples are located all over the tongue - this may indicate the neglect of the disease.

Stomatitis is always accompanied by multiple rashes that grow together. They are grouped in the first two-thirds of the lingual platina and are constantly itchy and painful. These feelings intensify during and after eating. The disease does not go away on its own and requires treatment, so a visit to the doctor is essential.

Red pimples on the tongue indicate that glossitis is developing. At the very beginning of the disease there are few of them, but as the situation worsens, the formations rapidly grow, affecting the entire oral cavity. The pathology is infectious in nature and can develop due to:

• allergies;
• addictions to spicy and hot foods;
• herpes rashes;
• excessive consumption of strong drinks.

Red-purple spots on the tongue in diseases of the adrenal glands

Small wounds provide access to pathogenic microflora deep into the tissues. The inflammatory process begins with the formation of a purulent consistency.

Also, if a red pimple appears on the tongue and it is very painful, then this is a consequence of a burn, in which the papillae swell, creating the impression that a pimple has popped out.

Red pimples can also indicate hepatitis, and in this case you need specialist supervision and treatment of the root cause.

Hematoma in tissue due to injury

If pink pimples appear on the tongue, then this is a sign of the development of one of the diseases. Most often it is glossitis. But due to the fact that such a rash does not bother a person, it often goes unnoticed and develops further. The formations acquire a rich red color and begin to irritate and itch.

A black pimple on the tongue appears as a result of injury when a dark clot of coagulated blood forms under the tissues. This is a hematoma that often resolves on its own. But if a black painful pimple appears with enviable regularity or there are many of them and they bleed periodically, then these are manifestations of thrombocytopathy. The disease is characterized by dysfunction of platelets. In this case, treatment under the supervision of a specialist is necessary.

Other reasons for the appearance

Pimples often appear on the tongue due to an allergy to:

• products;
• toothpaste;
• medical preparations.

During an allergic reaction, many small rashes form on the entire surface. If they appear, they will definitely cause anxiety and itch. Basically, such white irritation is characterized by pain when drinking or eating food. The main thing is to detect the allergen and avoid using it. First of all, this concerns chewing gum and hygiene products used for the oral cavity. If a popped pimple is the result of an allergy to the medications you are taking, then you need to consult a doctor to replace it. There are other reasons why such irritation appears on the tongue.

Pimples on the tongue closer to the throat can be caused by both an allergic reaction and:

• enlarged papillae;
• scarlet fever;
• ulcer;
• Kawasaki disease, etc.

Popping up near the throat, it is quite painful and causes some inconvenience and suffering. But it can be cured without complications. Rashes can be small or large. A blockage in the salivary gland can cause a yellowish, painless pimple to appear.

Mechanical damage can lead to their formation. When biting or chewing food, it happens that a person bites his tongue, resulting in a minor injury. In this case, a small black lump may remain - a coagulated blood clot, which will dissolve on its own over time. However, if this dark type of swelling, which causes pain, comes off regularly and in large quantities, you should definitely seek treatment. This is how a disease manifests itself, in which the functioning of platelets is disrupted and a black pimple appears. Pathologies of internal organs, for example, tuberculosis, can lead to a pimple on the side of the tongue, and on its entire surface. You need to carefully monitor his condition. What to do if a dark spot does not disappear for a long time, only a doctor can correctly advise.

With purulent tonsillitis in humans, the area of ​​the tonsils is mainly affected; in advanced cases, pus spreads to the root. In such a situation, it is quite possible for purulent pimples to appear on the tongue. Often, pus on acne is a complication after an incorrectly and poorly done piercing. Work done in inappropriate conditions and using unsterile tools can result in a black pimple appearing on the tongue.

Symptoms

If pimples or pimples appear on the tongue, the diseases that caused them may have various symptoms.
If such a neoplasm occurs in a single quantity and is accompanied by discomfort and severe pain, then this is typical for mechanical damage to the tongue. This can be caused by vigorous chewing of food or burns from drinking hot drinks or foods. The appearance of a large number of whitish or red pimples, located in dense groups, indicates an infectious lesion. This could be, for example, thrush, herpes or stomatitis.

Usually these pathologies are accompanied by a dense plaque, which is very difficult to remove. A pimple on the tip of the tongue that does not cause much discomfort may indicate the presence of bad habits or diseases of the internal organs. In this case, this pathology appears as a result of decreased immunity or disruption of the normal functioning of certain organs.
