Brief Answer:
Suggestive of glossitis.

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir, Hi & Welcome.
I can understand your concern.

Based on the history given, you seem to be suffering from inflammation of the tongue (glossitis).

It could be due to certain nutritional deficiency of iron, folic acid, vitamin B12, riboflavin, or niacin. It may also be due to smoking or alcohol intake or having hot and spicy foods.

Hope this answers your query, however if you have any follow up query, please feel free to ask.

Best regards.
