How Long Does Geographic Tongue Last?

How long does Geographic Tongue last for in terms of months/years? Is it something that eventually goes away? Or do you have this the rest of your life?

Hi!
It is very difficult to predict how long the geographic tongue will last. It is harmless and can disappear in months, may re-appear or may persist for years. Using steroid gel etc may help. Taking vitamin B 12 also helps. Take care!
