What is this little bit of loose skin on the bottom of my tongue?

I have a little bit of loose/flappy skin on the bottom of my tongue that I%26#039;ve had for about 3 days now. Does Anybody Know What It Could Be?|||Frenulum.





You%26#039;ve got a friend in your frenulum, the piece of skin that attaches your tongue to the bottom of your mouth. But if your frenulum is too short, that%26#039;s called tongue-tied, and it can cause problems with your speech. Doctors sometimes do an operation to free up the tongue by snipping the frenulum. If you need this operation, a doctor will give you a special medicine called anesthesia to keep you comfortable.





You probably notice it only now because it%26#039;s irritated from having a sore or eating very hot soups or foods. |||The frenulum? - that%26#039;s all I can think of. If you Google frenulum it will all be explained.|||Maybe you burnt your tongue on a hot drink or meal?


Or you could be growing another tongue!!!!!
