Ok I just did some research for you. It said that you should see a doctor. It's common if you smoke/drink or if you use mouthwash daily. But sometimes peeling occurs without any provocation. If you also have bad breath and a bad taste in your mouth you can purchase a tonge scraper and use it daily. It's important you see a doctor because a peeling tongue is a major sign of tongue cancer. Thats mainly if it's in one area. The main symptons of tongue cancer are pain while eatting, lump in your neck, lump on your tongue, and tongue pain. I don't mean to scare you, and it's unlikely it's tongue cancer. But it's important you see a doctor as soon as you can! Good luck! :)
