Geographic Tongue 地图舌

Geographic tongue affects approximately 2% of the general population, it is a benign condition associated with local inflammation and the absence of differentiation of the filiform papillae. In a study of patients with psoriasis, geographic tongue occurred in 10% of the patients, in contrast to only 2.5% of age- and sex-matched controls.

In our psoriasis patient, the white rim and angular cheilitis was more clearly visible at follow-up visits at 1 month (Panel A, arrow) and 12 months (Panel B, arrow). Geographic tongue is usually asymptomatic, as it was in this case with angular cheilitis, but symptoms include pain or a burning sensation that is triggered by eating spicy or acidic foods. In our patient, geographic tongue and angular cheilitis were resolved at a 24-month follow-up visit (Panel C) during our herbal therapy for the psoriasis, patient reached full clearance in psoriatic plaques at a 28-month follow-up visit.

地图舌影响大约2％的一般人群，它是丝状乳头的分化缺失与局部炎症相关的良性病症。在一项关于银屑病患者的研究中，10％的患者出现了地图舌，而年龄和性别匹配的对照组只有2.5％。

这位银屑病患者，在1个月（图A，箭头）和12个月（图B，箭头）的随访时，白色边缘和口角唇炎清晰可见。地图舌通常是无症状的，在伴有口角唇炎的情况下，会因吃辛辣或酸性食物引起的疼痛或灼烧感。在我们用中药治疗此位银屑病患者期间，在第24个月的随访中（图C）地理性舌头和角化唇炎完全消退，第28个月随访中，银屑病皮疹完全消退。
