Hi @ger63. With the peeling of your lower lip and pinpoint areas on your tongue, do you by any chance use a whitening toothpaste? This may cause similar reactions if you have a sensitivity to some of the ingredients, causing sloughing of the tissue and irritation to the tongue. Try using a children’s non-mint toothpaste for a couple of weeks to see if it makes a difference.

Another option is to make a paste out baking soda and water. It’s not very tasty but it does a good job cleaning your teeth and it’s not irritating.

Finishing up after each meal with a saltwater rinse may help sooth your tongue and mucous. Dissolve 1/4 tsp salt in a cup of lukewarm water. Rinse for 30 seconds and spit. Repeat a couple of times.

Do any certain foods seem to bring this on, such as tomatoes or anything salty/spicy or acidic?
