White layer over tongue
Hi! I got my tongue pierced over two weeks ago. Now, I have developed a thick, white layer that has a furry appearance. It cannot be removed by scrubbing. Every day and night I brush my teeth and then gargle anti-septic mouth wash, followed by spraying my salt solution spray. However, it has still not gone away. What can I do?
