Geographic Tongue
by deltadave66, May 06, 2008 11:27AM
About 2 minths ago I noticed what looked like a small red patch with a little outline of white around it. ringworm looking, at the tip of my tongue. It is still there. It moves around a little, but is always at the tip. Sometimes it is a little more prominent than others, and I have obsessed myself with discovering what it could be. I have found the term "Geographic Tongue" and it seems to describe this. Could this be what it is? It is mildly sore...like I burnt the end of my tongue with hot coffee. I even have a few small lines that have appeared on my tongue. Like little slits. I am just curious if this meets the sescription of geographic tongue. I never noticed it there in my life til about 2-3 months ago. I have tried different types of gargle, and eating less spicy foods. I guess it helps to some degree, but is still there nonetheless. Does this ever go away? Is there any treatment or remedy? And does it sound like geographic tongue?

Seeing an oral pathologist or oral surgeon is advised.
