I am sorry to hear about your concern but will be happy to assist you. While uncommon, bumps on the back of the tongue can be a sign of oral or tongue cancer. These wart-like bumps ? or squamous cell papillomas ? can look white or red and may be benign. Only a doctor can diagnose an unusual bump as cancerous. Leukoplakia is another condition that can cause tongue bumps. Let's connect over a call so that we can discuss your concern in details and make a suitable treatment plan for you.
