Suggest Remedy For Itchy,painful White Bumps On Tongue

Hi I get white bumps on my tounge all the time that come and go. They are very itchy and I tend to end up scratching them with my teeth. Sometimes it will just be one white bump other times it will be a big patch of white bumps from the tip of my tounge all the way along the side. They are always only along the edge and never in the center. They are normally there for a week or two and then they go away for a two to three months and then come back. I have been getting them on and off like that for many years now. They are very painful and I was wondering if you have any idea what it is and what I can do about it cause I can t afford to go to a doctor. Thanks

Read your query as you have painful itchy white bumps on tongue this can be due to enlarged papipllae due to inflamation , or can be symptoms of geographic tongue . Dont be worried so much these symptoms are seen in patients with nutritional deficiency , vitamin B deficiency .
