General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hi
Thank you for asking HCM.
I have gone through your query. Your problem can be most likely due to glossitis. This can occurs due to vitamin b12 or other B complex vitamin deficiencies. Taking supplements of these will be helpful. You can also apply gels containing choline salicylate like zytee RB gel locally. Avoid spicy foods till it heal.
Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
