Ok i have smoked a couple times recently but it was white before that its like white and i want to scrape it off but it wont go away.. my tip of my tongue and under it is the only normal reddish color... how do i get rid of the whiteness all over it's been there for a while now
-
My tongue is white? wtf
-
Sounds like thrush (a yeast infection, also known as candida albicans). It would probably worth having a doctor look at it.
-
I'm with steve on this one.. oral thrush! If not, are you on any antibiotics? This also causes accumulation of white substances on the tongue. Try brushing your tongue along with your teeth, not hard, but you should be doing this twice a day. If it is still there after a couple of days I'd seek medical help, and they will give you either pills to swallow, or some sort of pill that you suck to get rid of the fungal infection.

If not, are you on any antibiotics? This also causes accumulation of white substances on the tongue.In that case, the white substance is from candidosis (thrush), which flourishes when the normal fauna balance is screwed up by the antibiotics (i.e., the helpful bacteria are killed).There are medicines that can treat it, but one needs to find what caused the outbreak in the first place.

ok...so i take sumycin for acne medication... so could this have caused it? and is going to the doctor probably the best solution than?
-
I agree yes seeing your doctor will be your best solution at this point. there are easy treatments for Candida, if that ends up being the problem.

i take sumycin for acne medication... so could this have caused it? Certainly a possibility. You need to have your doctor sort it out.
