i was born like that... and i alwayz take alot of vitamins...

Answer 1

ln some cases,it's genetic.But this is rare.
lt is more likely due to Riboflavin deficiency (vitamin B 12).A lack of this vitamin causes loss of patches and papillae and may give rise to what is called a ''geographic tongue''--so called because the lines on the tongue resemble maps cut onto the surface!
This has no clinical significance .
Adequate intake of B12 is healthy however,so get a B-complex supplement and tell the person to take 1 twice daily for 2 weeks.
