Painful tongue scaling away

I have patches that come and go on my tongue. My dermatologist thinks these may be related to PsA. They are quite painful as the surface seems to peel away. Anyone else?

  1. I feel like my tongue does something similar. Every once in a while it gets really painful and seems to have deep cracks in it. The pain is horriable.

    1. Very painful

      1. I also have issue with my tongue. I had been to a handful of doctors looking for answers. I actually went to the dermatologist who diagnosed my PSA before a rheumatologist ever did. She told me I have oral lichen plants and she felt once they get the auto immune under control it will also get my tongue under control. Until then I have to use a steroid paste. Good luck!
