Can prolonged periods of stress cause geographic tongue?

Geographic tongue: The cause of geographic tongue is unknown. It is thought to be related to psoriasis. The condition can run in families, so genetics play a factor. Geographic tongue can be exacerbated by stress, very spicy or hot foods and mechanical trauma.
