Skin peeled off my tongue?

Just to start with, I was a dental nurse for 6 years and never saw this.





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?

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.

My son had this a couple of weeks ago. It is called Thrush. If it hasn't gone away, call a doctor and they will send in a prescription for you. They don't even need to see you to diagnose it. Report It

Reply:it sounds like geographic tongue.
Reply:I've had some skin peel off the inside of my mouth occasionally, but not off my tongue...
Reply: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!
