I've noticed this lump on the left side of my tongue, more on the ventral surface. It's not painful and you can't see it from the outside, but I can feel it when I squeeze my tongue with my teeth. I recently quit smoking, and I'm worried if this could be something serious? It's really uncomfortable, even though there's no pain. Should I be concerned about this?

Lumps in the muscles of the neck are caused by injury or spasm of the neck muscles (torticollis). These lumps are often at the front of the neck. Lumps in the skin or just below the skin are often caused by cysts, such as sebaceous cysts. The thyroid gland may also produce swelling or one or more lumps.so i advice you to consult ent specialist for the same

I'm noticing a hard bump on the side of my nose, just about an inch below my eye. I initially tried to squeeze it thinking it was a pimple, but nothing came out, and then it disappeared for about an hour before returning. Now it's hard and I'm wondering if it could be an allergic reaction to the nose pads on my glasses since I do have sensitive skin and a history of allergies. Could this really be just an allergy or should I be worried about something else?

As you said that could be Allergic reaction,do not attempt to squeeze it or scratch it, avoid triggering factors stay healthy.
