i have a tongue condition called geographic tounge and its pretty bad because i get painful red patches in my mouth and sometimes i'm very self concious of it.
so tommorow i'm prob going to the movies with this guy and hes probably going to try to makeout with me. i'm scared his tounge is going to feel one of the patches and get freaked out so i've been trying to do EVERYTHING i can to shrink them and make them go away by tommorow.
PLEASE ANSWER IF ANYONE KNOWS ANY HOME TREATMENTS

According to the mayo clinic there are no at home treatments for geographic tongue, which I'm sure your doctor probably already told you. However, it may be helpful to eliminate hot, spicy, and acidic foods from your diet. If you smoke or drink alcoholic beverages you should eliminate those from your diet and avoid toothpastes containing whitening agents, tartar control additives, and heavy flavoring.
