hairy tongue
Hairy tongue is a medical condition characterized by abnormal elongation or overgrowth of the filiform papillae on the surface of the tongue, making it appear hair-like or furry. It can be caused by various factors such as poor oral hygiene, tobacco use, extensive use of antibiotics or certain medications, and radiation therapy. The condition is generally harmless but may lead to discomfort or a change in taste.
