Recurring Sores On The Tongue. Tried Nilstat And Steroid Cream. Need A Permanent Cure

Hi since January I have had a cirlular like sore on my tongue which is not painful but more annoying...not raised.
I treated with nilstat as I thought it could be fungal but not with great response. It goes away and then reappears afte a couple of weeks.
I also treated with a steroid cream ( non prescription) as it was suggested it could be a form of dermatitis.
This also made little difference. I have been taking zinc, probiotics and vitamin C.
Today the sore is in the same region but on close look it appears to make the tongue look like it has a split in it.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thanks
