I agree with all these answers. The tongue is a sensitive area as you know. My part tongue is a 24/7 pain thaat has been going on for over 5 yrs and it just must be somethnig I have to live with. I have tried everything to stop this dry mouth which aggravtes it and makes my tongue feel like alligator hide. I hope you can get this fixed. Good luck
