Hey, when I was young I tried to drink coffee, which was extremely hot, and it burned my tongue! And it s been more than 6 years now and I still have the burn marks on my tongue which makes it look so ugly. It s annoying because I used to have a normal pink tongue but not anymore. How can I remove it? I tried brushing it and it didn t work for me, please reply
Hello, I can understand your concern. However, a burn by Chat Doctor.  It might be some other discoloration or lesion and not the burn mark. If you are able to taste the food and if your tongue does not experience numbness, chances are less that it is a burn mark. Is it a white discoloration or black? In case of white discoloration, it can be presence of fungal infection called candidiasis, psoriasis, lichen plans or precancerous lesion such as leukoplakia. If it is black, it could be normal melanin pigmentation, melanoma - a benign tumor, or hairy leukoplakia.
