Pink spot on the side of the tongue

[OP091]

Hello, I'm 26 non smoking / drinking male. I have this strange pink area on the side of my tongue. I have Notice it 9 weeks ago by accident. It doesn't hurt at all, I can't even fell it under my finger - it just feels like every other spot on my tongue. One interting thing that I've noticed is that when I touch it after washing my hands I can taste a strong taste of my washed finger (if that makes any sense). When I pull out my tongue as far as I can it seems to open itself with a visible gap in the middle. When I just pull it a little bit it is barely visible. I've been to like 5 different laryngologist during this time and they all have examined it (touched it etc.) and everybody says that it's nothing serious and I should observe if it changes but no one could tell me what that is and if it should dissappear or not. I've also been to one desist like 3 times with this and he was taking photos of it. At the last appointment he told me to forget about it but from what I understood he thought that it should go away. Is it just normal anatomy? Appreciate any help.

Good day

Looks like it could be your palatoglossal fold. This is normal anatomy
