Geographic tongue
I have a geographic tongue appearance ,patches at different places on tongue also have a fissured tongue (cut in middle ) due to which I have bad breath problems.
Please help out doctor finding a solution to this problem.
There is no specific treatment for geographic tongue you have to multivitamins tablets and apply ointment over the tongue .if you have burning sensation over the tongue means just visit a dental college and take biopsy .no need to worry.
Thank you.

Geographic tongue is self limiting. Only the symptoms cane be treated but the problem cannot be cured. Scrapping your tongue with tongue cleaner twice a day and taking multivitamins might help. To relieve burning sensation you can use Difflam oral rinse 4-6 times a day.
