Burnt feeling on tongue

[Mandy82]

Hello!
I’m new to this forum so just wanted to say hi to everyone and thanks for the support you all provide! I’ve had this weird little burnt feeling spot on the tip of my tongue and have had it for a week or longer. Of course I headed to google and am now worried about tongue cancer! Has anyone experienced this? Food doesn’t both this area, it just feels burnt and the area looks like there are no taste bud on it. I’m just worried it’s something serious!

Hi Mandy!

I had that burning feeling on the tip of my tongue! I went to an ENT doctor he said my reflux caused it.
Of course i did not believe him.
So I went to a dentist who also did not see anything unusal.
It lasted for approx. a month and then it went away... and then another thing came up but that's another topic... i am worrying about cancers around my neck and mouth so I can sympathise deeply...

Do you have acid reflux? it may be the problem..

Thanks Elena. I have a dentist appt the first week of December and will ask my dentist then. I do not have acid reflux, but I know this could be caused from vitamin deficiencies? Ever since I stopped taking prenatal vitamins after I was done breastfeeding, I started to get more canker sores and now this weird burning patch. I know tongue cancer is rare, but that’s where my mind always goes, to the worst possible thing.

I know I am the same...
I also read that vitamin deficiencies can really cause something like this.
It is really an annoying feeling though that burning.. I drank a lot of cold water that seemed to help a little bit.
It will go away! And the dentist can also check it just to be sure!

I just need to keep my mind off of it! Thank you!!!
