Reoccurring red spot on the tip of my tongue for the past 2 months. It is painless and it comes back to the same spot every single time. It comes back small and grows bigger, goes away for 2 weeks and comes back again. It is about the size of a US dime.

Thanks for your query.
Well it's best though to have your issue checked with a dental surgeon, however based on your explanation, it could be a rough edge/ irritant on the back of your lower front teeth, that your tongue tip may be rubbing against or it could be retention of fluid in that area that is smaller in beginning and grows big upon accumulation of more fluid. After sometime it ruptures and then you start feeling normal.
Next Steps
Please refer to an experienced dentist

Actually the best option in your Case is to get it checked up clinically by an oral surgeon who is qualified to check up and give you the best and most prompt treatment to cure the condition he would probably do a biopsy first and then depending on the clinical condition that is best rather than searching online and having a self treatment for the condition
