What Causes White Lines Running Vertically On The Tip Of Tongue?

I have have white lace like lines (5) running vertical on the tip of my tongue. I notice it more in the evening/night and it began a week or two ago more regularly. Although, I have randomly seen this before on my tongue in the past on occasion and thought I may need water or a nutrient. I am very hydrated so, I now know it is not due to dehydration.

Hello,

Possible issue of vitamin deficiency with folate or zinc. Guidelines for better recovery:
- Local application of Chlorbenzhexidine gluconate
- Glycerine also supports equally well
- Balanced nutritious diet with adequate carbohydrate, vitamins, minerals, proteins
- Avoid all spices, non-veg
- Supportive multi-vitamins with B complex, zinc, vitamin E and C as tablet formulations
- Avoid any form of tobacco if consumed
- Take care of avoidance of constipation with plenty of liquids and green leafy veg, cereals, pulses, legumes
- Bulk forming laxatives as per the need

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
