Tongue sores?

[Kaston]

I have seen this listed as a side effect of quitting analogs, but as you can see in my sig, it has been awhile since I have had any. Thus, it seems that these "lie bumps", as my mother called them, are caused from vaping.

To be more specific, they are infected taste buds; very small but pack a punch pain wise. Has anyone else had these, and if so, how have they delt with them?

I tried "removing" one and the pain and blood were not worth going without it for the 3 days or so it takes to heal and another to take its place.

A tiny bit of hydrogen peroxide on a q-tip or sometimes a tea bag works for me.

Lie bumps....Hahahaha, that's what my mother calls them too!

I quit analogues 10 days ago and yep I got a couple of infected taste buds too. I tried removing one using tweezers, but the pain was horrendous and the amount of blood was a bit much for my liking too. I ended up dipping the tip of my tongue into a cup icy cold water and holding it there for a while. I don't know if it really did much good, but all is ok now. If it happens again, then I'll take EonBlue's advice and use a bit of hydrogen peroxide.

Had a few over the course of a few months, but they go away almost as quickly as they pop up.

these lie bumps could also be tongue ulcer's from lack of acidulous drink more milk

holding some icewater in the mouth works...
