Could be thrush,: or a yeast infection on your tongue. This usually needs to be treated with an antifungal rinse or lozenges, like nystatin. I would see a doctor for accurate diagnosis and treatment.

Rhomboid glossitis : The papillae disappear from the center of the tongue from time to time. Nobody knows why. See if it matches online photos.
