Cause
The name "lies" is the result of a myth that says lies will cause them. However, very little has been written about this condition in scientific articles or textbooks and scientific studies have failed to produce a definite cause. Possible causes include: "stress, indigestion, menstruation, acid or acid foods, smoking, and local trauma" (direct physical irritation) of the tongue. Lumps of lies are often caused by tasting (reducing) the taste.
This lump is small, a white lump on the base of the tongue. They may be the result of transient lingual papillitis (TLP). This condition is limited to the upper (dorsal) of the tongue, affecting some small protrusions on the tongue known as the fungiformis papillae, which we commonly call "taster".
TLP is a harmless issue. These lumps can be very red or white and tender enough for several days. While the causes of TLP are not known with certainty, most experts feel that the trauma of local accidents (rubbing, scratching or biting) is a major factor; However, contact reactions to things like certain foods have also been suggested. The lumps are not contagious and the discomfort is relatively small. Usually these lesions heal within a few days without treatment, although doctors may refer patients to oral pathologists in prolonged cases.
