Unknown: The cause of geographic tongue is unknown, and there's no way to prevent the condition. Although geographic tongue may look alarming, it doesn't cause health problems and isn't associated with infection or cancer. Geographic tongue can sometimes cause tongue discomfort and increased sensitivity to certain substances.
