Desquamative glossitis (G. desquamativus) is a type of glossitis that is characterized by the presence of desquamation (separation) on the tongue. This type of glossitis can be caused by various reasons such as infections, allergies, autoimmune diseases, etc.

Symptoms of desquamative glossitis may include tongue swelling, redness, soreness, burning and itching. In this case, white or yellow spots may appear on the tongue, which may be covered with desquamation.

Treatment of desquamative glossitis may include the use of local antiseptics, anti-inflammatory drugs and antibiotics. Diet changes and avoidance of irritants such as smoking and alcohol may also be required.

It is important to note that desquamative glossitis can be associated with more serious diseases such as diabetes, HIV infection and other autoimmune diseases. Therefore, if symptoms of glossitis appear, you should consult a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
