can anyone help me identify this?
Hi! I have a lump under my tongue, where the salivary glands are. It started around a week and a half ago and looked like most of the pictures on the forums, like the ranula. i didnt try to pop it or anything, just let it be, thinking it would go away. but it increased in size, and then i did try to pop it... but nothing happened (i didnt try too much because it didnt seem to do anything except make it a bit red). i will make a doctor appointment next week, but am wondering if anyone here is familiar with what it is and how it is treated? thanks for the help!
I forgot to add that it doesnt hurt at all.... and i meant to say it looked like the common mucocele before, not ranula (which was what i first found on the internet regarding bumps in the mouth...)
I'm guessing rannulas...which are nothing more than mucoceles under the tongue/on the floor of the mouth. If possible, I'd recommend you see an oral surgeon rather than a general doctor...just because oral surgeons are much more experienced with those things.
