Near the tip of my tongue, there's a tender pale "growth" that sticks out about 1-2 mm. It's small--about 1-2 mm wide, but it kinda hurts. What the heck is it and can I cut it off?? It really gets in the way of tongue activity.

Sounds like you went to the "Y" one to many times for lunch... Remember, if cauliflower is on the menu, you don't want to eat there.

Do you have a girlfriend? Treat it like a french tickler. She'll love you for it.

growing a third eye?

Never go to ATOT about any medical problems. Especially since herpes simplex causes cold sores, not growths.

does it kinda look like a taste bud that's sticking up a little? I think i've had one before. I didn't really do anything, and it went away. Kinda hard to ignore though, I was kinda freaked out too.

 

Did you know that your mouth carries more jerms in it than your anus.

I did some research on tongue problems on the net. There's a condition called Black Hairy Tongue that I'm sure YOUR girlfriend might like.

Wow--didn't know that. Are you sure??

Not to change the subject, but is it true that Muslims use water instead of toilet paper because toilet paper does a poor job? Maybe I should install a bidet . . .

Hmm--found some information about toilet habits here:
Cultural Differences

Here's the pertinent section:

Q 3. My question is regarding Taharah. Usually I come with Taharah and Wudu from my home, and avoid using the bathroom till Friday Prayer, but sometimes I cannot resist, and I have to use the bathroom, and clean myself with paper instead of water, as their is generally no water available in the Toilets in America. Personally, I think no matter how hard you try, you cannot be as clean without using water, as you can be with using water. I miss my Friday prayer thinking that I am not with Taharah. Do you think I will be able to attend the prayers after Wudu or I have to take a complete shower and change clothes? I hope you will answer my question and guide me and millions of other Muslims in North America, Europe and similar places. (M. A. Khan, Toronto, Canada)

A 3. Cleaning oneself after the natural urges is called Istinja in the terminology of Fiqh. The use of water is highly emphasized for Istinja, but it is not compulsory. If one can clean oneself with other absorbents, it also permissible. Thus the use of toilet paper as well as dry clods of earth (Jimar or what we call in Urdu Dhelas), stones, rags or other clean absorbents are permissible. You can use toilet paper or you can wet some toilet paper and use is to cleanse yourself and then use dry paper. You should not miss your Friday prayer or any prayer for this reason. Prayers on times are obligatory and they should be missed for any excuse. There is also no need for take a shower or to change clothes after the use of toilet. We should observe cleanliness, but exaggeration (ifrat and ghuluww) in any matter is not in the nature of Islamic teachings.

I am so ignorant, but Google is expanding my mind.

Do a search on the net for black hairy tongue disease. That's probably what you have.

If you need any more free medical advice, just ask.
