Random question but has anybody else had a dark yellow coating on their tongue? It's not whitey-yellow like you would see with thrush but just a thin layer over the main part of my tongue.

Hi Highland49 are you a smoker?
Hi Clive,
No never smoked. I read about conditions giving you a yellow tinge to your skin but can't find anything if it only affects the tongue.

Hi Highland49. Most causes of yellow tongue are harmless...usually due to a build up of dead skin cells, which can become stained by heavily coloured food, coffee, tea, smoking etc.
Yellow tongue can be present with jaundice but then there would be other signs of yellowing (skin, yellow ringe to eyes etc.).
