Clear Bubbles Underneath Tongue
Posted: 08-12-06 23:54pm

Greetings, i'm not sure to put this so I
figured i'd start it here first.
About 3 months ago on the underside of my
tongue (not the bottom of my mouth where
the saliva glands are) a clear bubble
showed up. I kept popping it but nothing
happened, it would go away and then get
back to where it was. It was always in
the same place and didnt seem to spread or
anything. I decided to go to the doctor
and left it alone for the few days before
my appointment and by the time I got there
the bubble was gone, I can still feel a
bump there when I run my teeth over it but
the bubble is gone. I had nothing to
show the doctor so he said not to worry
about it.
About a month ago I was having lunch and I
felt another bump. Its on the opposite
side of my tongue (on the right side as
opposed to the first one which was on the
left) and doesnt seem to want to go away
again. Both seem/ed kind of hard and it
takes some work to pop them.
Some background. I am 21 i've been
sexually active with three partners and
all stated that they were virgins.
Of all the websites on the web I found one
link that showed the same condition but
the doctor replyed "it could be anything,
consult your doctor" I have looked into
hpv but the images i've been looking at
don't look anything like it. They say
its collyflower like but some can start
clear, but i've never developed a
collyflower growth. I dont have herpes
or aids (checked while at the doctors) I
also heard it may be a condition of the
salivary gland collecting liquid in the
surrounding skin, but again this is on my
tongue.
Any insight would be helpful or if you've
had it and gotten rid of it or even better
found out what it is please respond.

I have been encountering the same exact
problem. I have a bump filled with clear
liquid which forms on the underside of my
tongue, sometimes on the roof of my mouth.
Other than some discomfort, they dont
really bother me much. I thought maybe
there was something in my diet that has
been causing them to appear and have been
keeping track of when they appear to see
if I ate anything stange in the past few
days however, I do eat quite healthy and
practice good oral hygene. The bumps
seem to disappear after a few days and
then out of the blue pop up again. There
are only two, usually one pops up at a
time and I try like crazy to pop them with
my teeth. I dont know, if you hear of
anything let me know.

Same Problem With Tongue.

I also have had this problem. I never
really thought of it as any medical
problem, but I ended up here, because, I
have never met anyone who knew what I was
talking about and I wanted to know what it
was.
It doesn't seem to cause any problems. I
am sexually active, but I think the
problem started before that (can't be
sure). I have a tongue ring, but I also
believe that I got it after this. I am 23
years old, female, and have no alergies to
anything that I know of. Other than this
mysterious, bothersome little thing, I'm
overall very healthy.
Ever since I can remember, however, I've
had this same thing occur on either side
of the back of my mouth, above the jaw
line, in that little nook between the
teeth. It was hard to get to, but if you
popped it, it would go away. When I
started getting it under my tongue, I no
longer got them in the back of my mouth
anymore.
It also seems as though the more you pop
them, the more frequently they reappear,
but one can't really help but pop them,
because they're so bothersome if you
don't.

i had one too.. i thought it would go away
and my doctor dismissed it like it wasn't
anything to worry about. it wouldn't
bother me when it was small but then it
would fill up and it would hurt and it was
bothersome. i was too afraid to pop it so
my doctor sent me to an ear nose and
throat specialist. 2 weeks ago he cut it
off.. the whole surgery deal and cut
underneath my tongue about an inch in
half. it hurt for a while but after i
healed and got stitches i went for a
follow-up yesterday. he gave me oral
steroids to take and infection stuff..
omnicef and prednisone. well.. i was just
waiting for it to go away and have it be
over with and then i got another one
underneath my stitches. the one that my
doctor cut off 2 weeks ago. i went through
so much emotionally and physically. it
sucks so bad. he said it was like bullous
impetigo or something but i looked it up
and it didn't seem like what i have.. he
said if it doesn't get better.. i have to
see a dermatologist.. i'm glad i'm not the
only one. i was really freaked out.

That's Horrible

Wow! That's horrible. They take you
through all this mess (as though they knew
what it was), and you're expecting it to
get better, and before the stitches even
heals the next one returns. That sucks,
and I'm so sorry you had to go through
that.
Since, it appears that it WILL come back
no matter what you do, I do suggest that
you pop it for temporary releif. The
longer you leave it, the worse it gets. I
don't advise that you pop it with your
teeth for two reasons. The first: because
your teeth are not sterile and I'm sure
you're just begging for it to get
infected. And the second: because it's
harder to do and just hurts worse the more
you try.
I suggest using a toothpick. It doesn't
hurt as bad and the pop is more precise
and less irritating, so it takes longer
before it comes back.
And clarkless, it's not herpes, because I
started getting them before I ever was
even kissed, and it's never spread to any
of my partners. It's something different,
and doctors all try to guess, and they're
always wrong.
I think us poor unfortunate soles must
just endure this sad case of 'bubbles
under the tongue.'

lol! ^^ thank you so much.. i was so
scared.. it's pretty uncomfortable and
irritating sometimes.. i'm too chicken to
pop it.. unless it really aggravates me.
thank you for being so sweet.. i'm glad
that it's not spreadable or anything..
sorry but i've missed kissing my boyfriend
soo bad. lol.  i hope it'll
just be like the flu that comes and goes
because the medicine my doctor put me on
is so horrendous. i can't wait until it's
over. hopefully it's not anything serious
and i can just go back to regular life
stuff. like kissing.

You're welcome, and yes, that sort of
stuff has never been a problem. Tell him
not to worry. I've never actually even met
anyone with this condition. This place is
the first time I've even heard of anyone
else with it. It's just nice to know
you're not alone.

You're totally right. That's exactly what
it is. I'm not really too bothered by it
enought to have the surgery. I just need
to keep a supply of toothpicks around.
But, I'm extremely happy to at least know
what it is, and why I (of all people) was
chosen to have this annoying little
bugger.
Thanx.

Me Too!

I am so glad i found this forum, i have
been experiencing the same problem for a
about a year now. The little bubble
always appears in exactly the same place
under my tongue. I stick it as long as i
can then i have to burst it cus it just
feels like its getting too full. After i
burst it it feels better but i can still
feel where it was. It stays away for a
while but then returns after a few days.
I was freaking out cus i had been trying
to find some info on this for a while and
results about cancer of the tongue had
been coming up but i couldn't see how this
could be the problem as it is such a small
little bubble compared to some of the
pictures the articles show with tongues
completely covered in red ulcers!
I am also a bit embarrassed to go to the
doctor to show it to him cus he will
probably just tell me its nothing or it
will disappear by the time i see him then
i will just look stupid.
Anyway so glad to read of other people who
have had these, i has made me relax a bit,
though feel a bit guilty for being happy
that other people have them cus they are
so annoying!
Thanx
Leanne

I've been dealing with these little bumps
for a while too, and am glad I found this
thread! I had a temporary crown on a tooth
with a jagged edge, so I think I put my
tongue on that too much, and did some
damage.
Hence the little bubble that just keeps
showing up now.
I like the fact that it's not at all
dangerous; just annoying. I have two: one
big, the other tiny. The big one needs to
be popped every few days it seems. I wash
my hands and pop it like a zit.

I've been searching for info on this for a
long time.. I get the bumps on the inside
of my cheek. Its usually just one, but
sometimes two. They don't hurt, but they
are annoying. Mine are clear, and pop
really easily. pretty interesting. thats
great if they're harmless!

no most bumps in the mouth or like on the
tongue is just your taste buds are
swollen. i don't have anything and i get
them. but it can also be a sign of an std.
if you aren't sure go talk to you doctor
he/she will help you. but it's probly not
the case.

I have just turned 16, and i have just
come into notice of this bubble recently,
however, i do not believe it is an STD
because i have not had intercourse with a
women, how ever, i am still not sure, i
mean all STDs had to start from somewhere
other than sex. I am going to go to the
clinic tomorrow and get it checked, thank
u people for some of the helpful advice.
wish me luck.
