Geographic tongue: It sounds like you may have a condition called geographic tongue. A mouth rinse with benadryl, (diphenhydramine) or with a prescription Lidocaine gel can help. You can read more about this here: http://www.Mayoclinic.Com/health/geographic-tongue/ds00819 you might consider seeing an ear-nose-throat specialist to evaluate this.
