Why do you have cracks in your tongue?

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.

Why does my tongue get sore after taking multi vitamin tablets of using certain mouthwashes?

I'm a male and having the same problem whenever I take multivitamins. My tongue gets sore after a few days later. And now I'm taking vitamin C tablets and I get the same reaction. It's weird and I'm trying to find out why. Because I'm an Asian or Chinese, I was told that Western tablets is consider hot for your body (like when you eating something deep fried and you get it). I'm not sure that's the case. I told my friends about my tongue reaction after taking these tablets and they told me might be my body allergic to something in the tablets because Multi has a lot of vitamins and might be one of those cause it. I'm trying to figure out so I can avoid this problem and able to continue to take vitamins. Please advice thanks.
