Patient: I had a spot That looked like a bite on the top far right side of my tongue almost two weeks ago. The spot has spread along the whole right side where it looks as if a layer of the right side of my tongue has eroded away. It is not bloody or painful, but is smooth and in shiney in places. There is also a small area same condition on the front of tongue. Doctor: Hi,  Thanks for asking the query,  As per your clinical history i suppose the papillaes on your tongue are erroded and inflammed resulting in smooth and shiny tongue, this occurs in the condition known as geographic tongue, vitamin B12 defieciencies.  Start taking multivitamin suplements, use chlorhexidine mouthwash gargles twice daily. Maintain a good oral hygiene. Take complete balanced diet. Avoid eating of hot and spicy foodstuffs.
