Thick White Patches or Sores:

• In some cases, these patches may indicate symptoms of oral cancer.

Painful Red or Yellow Sores:

Why might a tongue turn bright red in the mouth?

Bright Red Tongue:

• Indicative of a vitamin B deficiency or scarlet fever (Streptococcus bacteria infection in the throat) with a red body rash.
• Painless bright red patches that shift across the tongue may be attributed to a benign condition known as "geographic tongue."
