I ate alot of sour candy the other day and then my tongue felt kinda numb in the middle for a day or so and then today I rubbed my tongue across my teeth kind of hard and realized my skin on my tongue was peeling, in a similar way to sun burn , and none related perhaps but all my life ive seemed to have a film on my cheeks that I can painlessly chew off daily.
Hall sir welcome to Chat Doctor Thanks for the concern its because of too much sour on the tongue for long time. Nothing to worry at all. You just have eaten less spicy food for a week and avoid too hot/cold foods/beverages. Need to stop smoking and alcohol consumption for few days till the tongue heals and comes to normal. If doe snot subside after all these, consult a dentist for the opinion. Hope this will help you. Take care.
