Hi, yes I have it and was refered to the dental specialist at the hospital. Its called Geographic Tongue (Betty in Corrie had it). It moves around and can be painful. If you look in a mirror it kind of looks like a map/atlas hence Geographic tongue. They have no treatment but you should still go to your doctor/SLE speciallist as it is a symtom that should form part of your medical notes.
Hope that helps
Helen
