What is causing this tongue to hurt at the front and look like this? If you've experienced this and have resolved the issue or you think you know what the problem is then please post your thoughts here. Thanks. :flowerforyou:

    You should probably get that checked out by a doctor...Tongue issues can be a sign of an underlying problem somewhere in the body.


    And for future reference, you should put a TMI warning or something on posts like this....

    Ah, the internet....why haven't we all figured out that cyberpeople cannot diagnose ailments or diseases? You gotta see a doctor, and did you REALLY need us to tell you that?

    It is called geographic tongue, and it is usually harmless. Google it for more info.

    Thank you,

    and there used to be a 'lips and tongues Tuesday' here on MFP. No TMI warning necessary, but thanks for the advice.

    IT'S JUST A HUMAN TONGUE!

    No, this is all part of a weird hallucination you're having. You'll snap back to reality soon enough. :flowerforyou:

    Not asking for a diagnosis, just ideas from people who may have experienced the same or from people who might know what it is. It's part of the process before going to the doctor, if a doctor is determined to be necessary. After all, a doctor visit is pretty expensive when you're a full time student without health insurance.

    And yes, I did need to tell you that.

    It looks like something called oral thrush. You need a prescription for a specific medication called Nystatin.

    Thought about geographic tongue, and it seemed to fit, but this seems worse/more painful than geographic tongue as described on the interwebs. Maybe a combination of geographic tongue and something else?

    You could always ask a pharmacist if they have any ideas (free advice). Does your college not have a school nurse?

    It looks like thrush to me, but I'm not a medical professional. I would see a doctor or go to a minute clinic or something.
