So, I’ve had this thing on the left side of my tongue for a while now, and honestly, I had zero clue what was actually going on.
Back in the summer, I basically scorched my tongue on some hot food, and ever since then—after it felt dry and rough for a long stretch—everything just keeps getting worse every time I eat something spicy. I went out and got a swab test done to check for yeast or fungus, but that came back negative. Then I headed over to an ENT specialist because it felt like the little bump was actually getting bigger.
The doc told me straight up it’s just a fibroma, saying it probably gets irritated by whatever food I'm eating.
Has anyone here gone through having a tongue fibroma removed privately? Like, where did you go? Any horror stories or success stories? Please tell me everything.
But honestly, the fibroma itself isn't even the biggest headache—it's more about how that specific spot on my tongue constantly stings and tingles.
It usually flares up right after I finish a meal, swells up a bit, and then settles down again. But it feels so weird... if something is bothering me, why does it only react on that one specific side instead of my whole tongue acting up?
