Glossitis causes inflammation of a tongue, it changes its colour and structure. Glossitis leads to formation of papillomas - mushroomic outgrowths on a tongue tissue.
At local infections glossitis causes bacteria and viruses (including a herpes virus) and development of infectious process is promoted especially by burns, mechanical traumas of tongue and a mouth. It is proved, that by the risk factors provoking development of glossitis are nicotine, alcohol, hot food, sharp spices, and also allergic reactions to a tooth-paste, oral cavities.
Jacob Bogatin thinks that glossitis is shown and at some system diseases, such as iron-deficient anaemia, red flat deprive, V-vitaminodefitsitnye of a condition, erythema, aphthosis, syphilis, etc. In rare instances the exact reason which has caused disease to establish is not possible.
