Foliate papillae is a group of numerous projections arranged in several transverse folds on the lateral margins of the tongue just anterior to the palatoglossal fold. The foliate papillae is formed when a parallel mucosal folds on the margins of the tongue at the junction of its body and root. Small bumps (papillae) cover the upper surface of the tongue. Minor infections or irritations are the most common cause of foliate papillitis but diabetic neuropathy, oral cancer, mouth ulcers, and leukoplakia (a complication of AIDS) may also be causes. Dental problems can be also a cause. For patients with foliate papillitis, Shaduolika (a traditional Chinese herb), and dexamethasone (for pain relief) are safe and effective. Foliate papillitis can be dangerous if it is no treated . Foliate papillitis may occur on the tongue for no apparent reason. While it is not medically proven some doctors believe that an allergic reaction to food or medication or dehydration, oral sex, or antibiotic side effects can cause Foliate papillitis.
