Geography tongue

Geography tongue

This oddly named syndrome involves psoriasis-like symptoms of the mouth, in which harmless but potentially painful lesions develop on the tongue. Red and white patches are often surrounded by a slightly elevated yellow border, resembling irregularly shaped geographic masses on a map. These lesions can cause a burning sensation or irritation. “The cause of GT is unknown. However, situations and conditions producing stress, including allergies, hormonal disturbances, nutritional deficiencies, psychological disturbance, Reiter’s Syndrome, and even spicy foods are related to GT,”

I’m not a doctor, but my GT was helped dramatically when my doctor sent me to an allergist. He pin pricked me to determine allergies and we came up with a diet plan avoiding allergens.
