Noticed Round Circles On My Grand Daughter's Tongue
Hi, we just noticed my 6-yr-old grand daughter has round circles on her tongue. They were not there earlier in the day. It doesn't seem to hurt. I read online they are called geographic tongue circles... and are considered harmless. What's your advice?

Hello
Welcome to HCM
Yes it could be geographic tongue, usually seen in females. No treatment is required but sometime burning sensation occur, in that case you can apply topical corticosteroids or betamethasone gel.
Not to take tension.
Thank you
