Skin peeled off my tongue?
Question:
Also, I have impeccable oral hygiene, I'm 24 and have never had a cavity.
But yesterday I was reading and felt something on my tongue. It felt a bit like a really fine onion skin or something sitting there, so I scratched it off. It was some white stuff. I thought it must have been something I ate. Then it happened again, and again so I went to look in the mirror and saw that the white stuff was all over my tongue.
The white stuff was the skin covering my tongue and when I looked at the rest of my mouth, it was the same. I peeled it all off (like peeling off sunburned skin) and it wasn't sore or anything.
I haven't seen this before and I haven't eaten anything hot or spicy in the last few days, but I am pregnant. Has this ever happened to anyone else? And why?
Answers:
The only time I had this was after eating too many salt and vinegar potato chips. Can't say I've ever heard of it because of pregnancy.
Other Answers:
it sounds like geographic tongue.
I've had some skin peel off the inside of my mouth occasionally, but not off my tongue. It doesn't have to be hot or spicy to do this. Bananas and some nuts do the same thing to me. But, I wouldn't rule out the pregnancy. You are going to have lots of experiences being pregnant. Not to alarm you. They all won't be bad. Good luck!
