    • Abstract:
      The article looks at some tongue problems. Tongue normally changes texture or color if there is a problem; the most common tongue problems cause the most obvious changes in appearance, but they’re also the least serious. Common tongue problems include geographic tongue, and hairy tongue and some less common problems are tongue injury caused by an underlying dental problem and median rhomboid glossitis caused by a fungal infection; all these problems can be treated. INSET: Is it cancer?.
