Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Tongue Looks Like Paper Cut, Dry Lips, Whitish Tongue. What Could It Be?
tongue feels like paper cut toward tip of tongue but sort of looks like separation of the taste buds (small fingerlike) accomponied by dry lips and whiteish tongue. No open sores on tongue, gums or lips. When you brush taste buds with your finger you get the carpet effect then you see the separation that looks like cuts.
Hi, From history it appears that you might be having oral thrush giving rise to this feeling. Apply Gention violet locally. Take some B.complex, folic acid tablets. Keep oral hygiene healthy. Ok and take care.
