How long does it take for circumvallate papillae to go away?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
They don't: Circumvallate papillae are they large taste buds on the back of you tongue. They are a normal part of your tongue and do not go away. If they get inflamed and/or irritated they usually heal and go back to normal in 5-7 days.
