Answers:
apply candid mouth paint.. helps if there is a fungal infection along with it.. topical corticosteroids help if it is symptomatic... geographic tongue however is associated with psoriasis.. some times it is also seen in ppl with pernicious anemia.. so there may be an underlying systemic cause too.. its better to rule out the underlying causes..Health Question & Answer

Geographic tongue is caused by B vitamin deficiencies. This has been known for decades. People who starve themselves for long periods of time soon develop this. Glossitis can be caused by B12 deficiency - see source (pic). Make sure your getting every nutrient, because B vitamins work with other vitamins and minerals and it should go away. If it doesn't I would look at some type of malabsorption syndrome, something GI related.Health Question & Answer

I think I have this and I didn't even notice until I started using listerine mouthwash. I guess it dries my mouth out too much. Once I stopped using it, it went away.

So maybe you are using products or eating/drinking something that is drying your mouth out.?

And I'm not saying dry mouth causes it, as I think it is hereditary. But it just brings about symptoms.Health Question & Answer

Talking to a doctor is the best advice.Health Question & Answer
