A member asked:
Why would my papillae on the tip of my tongue start to come off, painful?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
The usual things.: Anything that injrues the tongue. Too hot food or something that causes a chemical blistering. An allergic response to a food. BUT it is very hard to see how that would ONLY affect the pappilae.
