What Causes Loss Of Sensation In The Tongue And Lips With Itching?
Hi, I have loss of sensation on bottom part of my tongue, itching feeling/loss of sensation on inside of my lips and I just noticed smooth red patches on inside of my cheeks. I have experienced the loss of sensation for just over a week now. Tongue feels sore on top as well. Any ideas. I already have an appt. with my dentist for routine cleaning in 2 days but I was trying to wait it out till my appt.

Hello,
It indicates possible glossitis, stomatitis with folate or vitamin B12 deficiency. In our clinic, we recommend the local application of chlorhexidine gluconate, supplements of deficient agents with dietary measures to recover early.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
