Thick white coat on my tongue for years. some parts look pealed (completely exposing the pink color of tongue), but the pattern changes daily. so i guess it takes less than 24 hours for a new thick white coat to develop. cause?

White tongue : Probably normal. Brush gently with your tooth brush. Drink plenty of water
