The symptoms for geographic tongue are inclusive of general discomfort of the tongue or mouth and soreness or a burning sensation of the tongue, which is often worsened by spicy or acidic foods. The susceptibility of geographic tongue is high in patients with psoriasis. Moreover, it is estimated that the geriatric population is more frequently diagnosed for the same condition.
