Q. My tongue is patchy like a map (Geographic tongue).

A.

This indicates decreased immunity and weakened gastrointestinal function. It involves the irregular peeling of the epithelial cells of the tongue. While there is no pain, it signifies that your body is fatigued, so rest and nutritional supplementation are necessary.

📝 Detailed Answer

혀는 건강의 지도입니다. 매일 모양이 바뀝니다.

  • 원인: 비타민 부족, 스트레스, 알레르기 체질
  • 과민: 매운 음식이나 뜨거운 것에 예민할 수 있으니 자극적인 음식은 피하세요.
  • 치료: 특별한 치료 없이도 컨디션이 좋아지면 저절로 없어집니다.
💡 양치

혀를 너무 세게 닦지 마세요. 부드럽게 관리해야 상처가 안 납니다.
