Just look if there are any sharp teeth in the area causing chronic trauma to the area or any history of repeated tongue bites. It could just be a keratotic healed patch . Notice for any increment in size rest it shouldn’t be anything alarming . #doctorsmilesiliguri

It can be of no major significance as well! A consult/picture would help to rule out
