What’s the cause of a purple flesh bump under my tongue that doesn’t hurt or itch?



A purple flesh lump under the tongue is painless and itchy, which may be caused by oral ulcers, sublingual gland cysts and other diseases.

1. Oral ulcers: usually due to local trauma, malnutrition, mental stress, endocrine disorders and other factors leading to ulcerative damage to the oral mucosa, the patient will have oval ulcers in the mouth. Severe cases can affect the diet, dizziness, fatigue, irritability, and may have the symptom of painless purple bumps under the tongue.

2. Sublingual gland cyst: It is usually due to the broken gland or blockage of the distal end of the gland duct, which leads to the gradual increase of the content and the emergence of retention cyst. In the clinic, patients often show the symptom of purple swelling under the tongue with soft texture, which is painless and itchy after touching.

If the adverse symptoms are not relieved for a long time, it is recommended to go to the hospital for examination, to clarify the specific cause of the disease, and then choose the appropriate method of treatment.
