Question about geographic tongue?
What exactly is it, what causes it, and are there any know treatments (prescription, herbal - doesn't matter)?
Answers:
Geographic tongue is a map-like appearance of your tongue due to irregular patches on its surface.
The specific cause of geographic tongue is unknown, although vitamin B deficiency may be involved. Other causes may include irritation from hot or spicy foods, or alcohol. The condition appears to be less common in those who smoke.
Avoid irritating your tongue with hot or spicy food or alcohol if you are prone to this condition. Make sure you take your daily dose of Vitamins.
There is no treatment. Geographic tongue is a harmless condition, but it can be persistent and uncomfortable. Zinc tablets also work good for tongue problems. Visit your local GNC store to get more information about vitamin tablets and zinc tablets . it will have more literature about how effective those medicines are for your problem.
