A member asked:
I have these weird patches on my tongue that keep going and coming and showing up on different spots i have no pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doctor can check: It might be a geographic tongue. People get geographic tongue patterns sometimes. The reasons are not certain. If there are no painful ulcers or other "ill" symptoms, the geographic tongue is not considered an illness. One can see her primary care doctor or try a virtual consult on HealthTap PRIME (where a patient can upload photos or consult via live video).
