Lichen Planus : I would look into diagnosis of Lichen Planus. It is an autoimmune disorder that can affect any skin surface including cheek, tongue, and gums. Burning tongue condition is very common. Finding a trigger that sets off the disorder helps to control it. No cure but are various therapies. See dentist or dermatologist.
