Interesting. Is there a name for this? Tongue Denervation/Atrophy perhaps?

I guess we don't tend to look at the edges of our tongues when healthy so we probably don't know the answer to be able to compare once sick, unfortunately.

Have you compared to other people, taken any photos, shown a doctor maybe?

Thanks.
