Geographic Tongue

[CGH93]

Hello!

For 4 years now, I’ve suffered with geographic tongue.
The GP sent me to the hospital that first year as they suspected oral cancer. I was only in the room a few mins and the doctor at the hospital said ‘it’s not cancer as it’s always changing and it’s not in the same place for a prolonged period of time’.
this was a relief as I was very concerned. However, he said it should burn its self out but can’t say when ..

its been 4 years now and I’m so fed up of it. The GP said there’s nothing they can do.

Does anyone else have this and have any tips?

I know spice is a trigger and stress can be too. (I have kids so I can’t do much about stress lets be honest)

I have this. I’ve never even considered going to the docs about it 😆 certain things flare it up: fruits and nuts mainly. Sometimes baked beans! It always looks a bit funky if I’m honest. Very much like a map (hence the name!).

It was the dentist who referred me to the hospital, it was the hospital that told me to go back to the gp. :)

I’ll give them a call and see what they say, thanks
