Reply: -----------------------
It is not possible for me to make diagnoses over the internet. I would strongly recommend that you see a physician to evaluate this problem. Based upon your description it is possible that you may have developed a "hemangioma of pregnancy" which is a benign self-limited vascular growth that eventually resolves. However, such lesions more commonly occur on the gum rather than on the tongue. In any event, such a finding warrants an examination by your primary care physician who can then determine the diagnosis and treatment.
