Shiny patch in tongue
Hi Sir/Madam,
Recently 3 weeks ago i noticed that middle of my tongue has a shiny patch, i usually clean my tongue after brushing in the morning with my toothbrush everyday. This patch appeared and it does not seem to go away naturally.
I smoke moderately, but never happened to me earlier.
There is no pain but it seems i have a sensation of heavy tongue or slight dry tongue.
The patch is not growing though and it remains the same size as you can see from the photo.
This similar thing happened to me earlier about 4years ago but it got healed after i applied some mouth ulcer gels.
Request you to advice on this and how to treat the same
