Definition:
A condition where
the tongue develops "bald patches" or white lines surrounding bald
patches.
Many doctors say that
"Geographic Tongue isn't serious and that no treatment is necessary". They
claim that Geographic Tongue is "without symptoms, but some
may complain of a burning or tingling sensation". They also say
that the burning and tingling comes from a fungus or bacterial infection,
possibly from a developing anemia (unrelated to the geographic tongue).
Why is it unrelated when they commonly go together?
And then they say "No treatment is necessary", but
"antifungal and antibacterial medications may be used for symptomatic
cases; topical or systemic cortisone or prednisone may also be effective".
And there is something you can do!
