<s>[INST] Hi, I noticed yesterday under my tongue to the left of the piece that conects your tongue to the bottom of your mouth what looks like a red polyp. What could this be. should I see a dentist. Every 6 months during my exam they check for oral cancer, and i havnt had any signs before. [/INST] With you query, i really don't understand why they check for oral every 6 months is there any particular reason? Do you have any adverse habits like smoking, chewing tobacco and pan chewing and Gurkha chewing? If so please stop all these in any form which may end up IIN causing cancer. Coming to your doubt I think you are talking about pica imbricate that appears like a polyp on either of tongue. If it is not, i would request you to visit your dentist since your description of the lesion is inadequate. Hope this helps you </s>
