Sam,

Anytime you have a bump, sore or abnormality on your tongue for that period of time you should have it checked out and a biopsy done if necessary. The biopsy does not hurt much and the tongue heals quiclkly. I have had two biopsies and it only takes a few seconds, it will be over before you know it. Better safe then sorry. Don't put it off!
