Excerpt from Portfolio of Dermochromes, Vol. 2

In this disease there appear upon the tip and mar gimal portions of the tongue - without apparent cause - grayish-white, sometimes yellowish, round spots, which extend rapidly in crescentic lines enclosing some what depressed, smooth areas of mucous membrane of a brighter and deeper red colour than the other parts of the tongue. The margins, which are made up of thickened epithelium, measure from g to 3 millimetres in breadth, and Spread in crescentic segments; but they do not cross the middle line, and only exceptionally invade the lower aspect of the tongue. Decorative, festooned, and geographical figures result from the confluence of contiguous patches and the appearance of fresh rings in the centre. Gradually the central portions become paler and resume their normal char acters; the whitish margins disappear, and the dis eased parts heal without scarring, but the process of cure may be delayed for months or even years by the occurrence of repeated exacerbations.

Subjective symptoms are usually slight, and consist of a certain amount of oversensitiveness, but some times severe pain is observed.
