Red tongue

[Moux1]

My hubby has a bright red smooth tongue and inside his bottom lip is really red too. There is no bleeding at all just really red . Is this liver related , thanks

A bright red smooth tongue can often be a sign of a vitamin B12 deficiency. In any case, it is better to consult a doctor to determine the exact cause.

Thank you , he has regular bloods but maybe they are not testing for B12 although he is not due for the injection until next month

Hi,

There can be different medical reasons for a bright red tongue, we would suggest your husband sees his doctor for assessment,
