Hello doctor,
I have an itchy tongue. I can describe the itching like putting a needle on right and left corners of the tongue. I am using steel tongue cleaner for the last 15 years and I have stopped now. Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- Are you a diabetic person?
- Has the tongue problem reduced after you stopped using the tongue cleaner?

Hi doctor,
I am 29 years old and not a diabetic. I still have the problem. My ENT specialist told me it could be because of excessive use of steel tongue cleaner before.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
- Do you have any other complaints such as numbness of tongue or pain?
- Just mere itching can be due to spicy food or using harsh tooth brush or tongue depressor or sometimes due to acidity.
- If you do not have any other associated complaints or any other systemic disease like diabetes, thyroid, etc., then any pathology is unlikely.

Hi doctor,
I have no other complaints. Due to foul smell in the morning I used tongue cleaner hardly for very long. I remember I noticed several times slight bleeding from my tongue while cleaning tongue.
Hello,

- You should avoid doing it. May be you have injured your tongue.
- Avoid intake of spicy foods as it will help in faster healing.
