Rashes on tounge and throat
For the past month, he has been experiencing rashes on his tongue. He has now started applying Candid Mouth gel. The rashes on the front part of his tongue have disappeared since he started using it. However, when he touches the inner part of his tongue with his finger, he can still feel a small- to medium-sized bump. He cannot reach that area properly with his finger, so he is unable to apply the gel there, which is why that part has not recovered yet.
Is there anything serious to worry about? He has never experienced any pain or other significant problems. He only feels a little discomfort (a slight uneasy sensation).

Hi
Greetings
Since he has no pain or any symptoms,
The circular bumps on the posterior most part of tongue are your papillae responsible for taste sensation. They are often misunderstood as bumps.
However a clinical examination in person would if it's anything significant.
Next Steps
kindly consult with an ENT surgeon for clinical examination.
Sos will require Laryngoscopic examination of the throat.
Opinion by an Obstretrician is not correct in this regard.

A bump on your tongue that's painless and has lasted over a month, even after the surface rash cleared with the antifungal gel, is worth getting examined rather than treated blindly from a distance. It's likely ongoing irritation or a thickened area from the earlier rash, but anything persisting this long under the tongue's surface needs a direct look, especially since the gel hasn't been able to reach it properly.
Next Steps
Please see a physician or dentist who can examine the inner tongue directly and decide whether it's still the fungal process or something else. Mention that it hasn't resolved after a month of antifungal gel.
Health Tips
Get it checked sooner if the bump starts growing, becomes painful, bleeds, or swallowing becomes difficult.
