Geographic Tongue is an annoying condition where the tongue develops “Bald” patches often surrounded with a thin white line. It is not considered serious or life threatening by doctors. These patches are called “denuded” meaning that the “papillae” or little bumps on the tongue have actually fallen off. Fortunately the papillae tend to replace themselves in 7 to 10 days.

My daughter was told that she had a geographic tongue.  No associated disease process that I know of.  

I think it looks worse than it is!

Hope it helps,
Karen
