Geographic tongue 🌍
Totally benign. Sometimes uncomfortable. Often misunderstood.
Those map-like patches on the tongue can move around, change shape, and come and go. It’s not contagious and usually linked to inflammation, stress, hormones, or nutrient deficiencies.
If it burns or feels sensitive, spicy and acidic foods can make it worse.
When in doubt—get it checked. Knowledge > panic.
