Geographic Tongue

in my 27++ years of age (kantoi la pulak aku bape taun), this is the first time i came across this medical term.i bet all of u pon baru first time heard about it. unfortunately the first time i heard it from pishimen's paeds, dr. koshy who diagnosed pishimen as having it - sian pishimen.

we've noticed the white patches on his tongue since a few months back. i thought it was ulcer but he never seems to show signs that the patches are painful. everything seems so normal so i have a 2nd thought that it's not ulcer at all. the white patches always changes colour to red & keep moving it's location. we can't wait for dr. koshy to brief us on the diagnosis, without any sample taken he could straight away tell us on the nature of it. eventhough i was a microbiology student, i never learnt bout this disease & when i go back to read through my text book i can't find anything like it. in a way i'm relieved that this is not caused by fungus, microbes or virus.

i've done my study on this & until now nobody know what triggers this condition. i would prefer to use the word condition rather than disease as this is confirmed as not a disease at all. worldwide, only about 3% of people are affected of it & pishimen was 1 of it (agak2 nye dorang kire x pishimen mase wat statistik tuh). would like to share with you an article bout this condition :

as for me, i'm looking at it on a bright side. geographic means more like a map to me. since he was 3 months old, he have been travelling all around the country with us & until he's 1 years old he has gone to most of the states. tinggal lagi sabah & sarawak je x sampai lagi. so pishimen, ibu harap with the geographic tongue 'luck' of yours can bring you further all around the world & remember only 3% of world population je yg ada this thing tau...MasyaAllah..& u're the chosen one.
