Thanks. I have a white/patchy tongue,
Especially down the middle of my tongue,
and in the back. The whiteness just won't
go away. Should I see a doctor?

I think you should. Might be an .S.T.D. i
learnt about an .s.t.d in health class
that you would get white bumps and patches
but i dont know it could be anything. im
only 14 i just know what i've learnt. lol

Infection? Posted: 06-24-07 22:55pm
You might be fighting an infection.
When you brush your teeth do you brush
your tongue at the end of brusing your
teeth?
Try this or gargling with salt water.
If anything it will help kill the germs in
your mouth.
Good luck.

It's actually more of a white coating, and
I know that it can't be an STD.
I've had it for like a year, and it hasn't
gone away.

It could also be yeast, which forms on
your tongue as a result of a vitamin
deficiency or poor dieting. Either way,
when in doubt, get it checked out.
Whatever it turns out to be, you and your
doctor can find a treatment solution that
works for you.
Let us know how everything goes. Take
care,

this sounds like geographical tongue and
is perfectly harmless. there isnt any std
involved.
