Causes of Pimples on Tongue

• Certain foods may cause pimples. The fact is that some foods can cause allergies which can appear as acne or pimples on your skin. Food allergies are one of the biggest causes for pimples to appear on your tongue.
• If there is a food that causes an allergic reaction in your system then your body responds by producing a toxic substance to help combat the allergic reaction. In an effort to get rid of the allergic reaction the body pushes the bacteria and germs to the skin where most bacteria is expelled. If your pores are clogged from dirt and oil then the bacteria will buildup inside the clogged pore instead of being expelled which leads to pimples.
