• Sores (blisters and ulcers) on the tongue can be caused by

    Irritation from certain foods or chemicals
    Oral herpes simplex virus infection
    Canker sores (recurrent aphthous stomatitis)
    Tuberculosis
    Bacterial infections
    Early-stage syphilis
    Allergies or other immune system disorders
    Injury from biting tongue

    The side of the tongue may develop a bump into the space between missing teeth. Although small bumps on both sides of the tongue are usually harmless, a bump on only one side should be examined to see if it is cancerous.
    Unexplained red or white areas, sores, or lumps (particularly when hard) on the tongue—especially if painless—may be signs of cancer and should be examined by a doctor or dentist. Most oral cancers grow on the sides of the tongue or on the floor of the mouth. Cancer almost never appears on the top of the tongue, except when the cancer occurs after untreated syphilis.
