It's characterized by smooth spots and sores on the tongue from time to time brought on by many factors, including stress, hormones, and even spicy foods.

I have it.
Geographic tongue is normal. It's non-benign. It's just something brought on by certain foods, stress, acidic drinks, even anemia can cause it. I drink alot of diet cokes, and also am under alot of emotional stress right now. So I have it at the moment. Just some smooth splotches on my tongue. And I have a swollen taste bud on the right side of my mouth that hurts like the devil.

Google image it, but beware some people have it very badly. Some very lightly. It might make you a bit sick to see some of the people's tongues. Other's may resemble yours as certain times.

First thing I thought was "yes - my tongue does like to explore all kinds of geographics" :eek:
