A tongue that is constantly peeling for almost no reason at all
is called a geographical tongue.
Geographic tongue is a harmless (benign) oral condition that
gives your tongue a map-like, or geographic, appearance. The
distinct look of geographic tongue occurs when parts of your tongue
are missing the layer of small bumps called papillae. This causes
irregularly shaped smooth, red patches to form on parts of your
tongue, like a rash.
Although geographic tongue may look alarming, it doesn't cause
any health problems and isn't associated with infection or cancer.
Geographic tongue is usually painless but can sometimes cause
tongue discomfort and increased sensitivity to certain substances.
Geographic tongue often heals in one area and then moves (migrates)
to a different part of your tongue. Geographic tongue is also known
as benign migratory glossitis.
If you have further issues that are of concern please contact
your doctor as soon as possible.
