bacteria builds upon the teeth and tongue - with a dry toothbrush - go over your teeth and tongue before you brush properly and go over your tongue again too - it will help to keep your mouth even cleaner so no more pimples!

I don't think it's a pimple. I'm not a doctor, but as far as I know, the tongue is a muscle and therefore can't "grow" blemishes the way the skin can.
I occasionally get little painful bumps on my tongue after I've eaten too many sweets :) It should go away soon. If it becomes bigger, or redder, or more painful over time, you could see a doctor, but otherwise I'm sure you have nothing to worry about.

Could be an ulcer - try some bonjela and see if that helps.
Or it could be oral thrush, (aka candida) which can be caused by eating too many sweets.
I would see a doctor about it though, as the tongue can develop cysts within the muscle which, although generally benign, can be annoying or an indication of another underlying problem.
Having said that, at age 20, it's unlikely to be anything more than a minor irritation.

It can often be a sign of poor digestion or an upset stomach

Anything that has been there that long should be evaluated by a physician. Don't worry until you have to .

Get it checked out. It may be a canker but I can't tell from here.
