What Could Cause Cuts On Tongue Tip?
Help. It feels like I have many cuts on the tip of my tounge. Some of my taste buds on the tip are starting to turn white. The rest of my tounge is kind of white, but nothing too alarming. This is waking me up at night and has also made it impossible to eat because everything feels like it "burns" my tounge. Thanks
