Should I Be Worried As Child Is Having Red Flat Spot On Tongue Few Months After Birth?

Hi my 22 month old daughter has had a slight red flat spot on her tongue since she was 4 months old. I have been told by doctor it is a geographic tongue and nothing to worry about. Spots sometimes are less then other days look more, should I be worried?

Hi Dear
Welcome to the HCM
My opinion is also the same. your child is having this harmless entity geographical tongue.
Nothing to do, except if it becomes painful then some action may be required by the ENT surgeon.
Hope the query is answerd.
Thanks
