As for the GEOGRAPHIC TONGUE and CANDIDIAL INFECTION, ang difference would be seen sa etiology or cause of said disease or symptom.
GEOGRAPHIC TONGUE is characterized by discolored regions of
taste buds or sometimes even cracks in the tongue (which do not go all the way through). The condition is usually chronic, and frequently manifests after eating any of a range of exacerbating foods, or during times of stress, illness, or hormonal surges (particularly in women just before menstruating).

While ang CANDIDIAL INFECTION or ORAL THRUSH is
Oral candidiasis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
is an infection of
yeast fungi of the genus
Candida on the mucous membranes of the
mouth. It is frequently caused by
Candida albicans, or less commonly by
Candida glabrata or
Candida tropicalis.
Oral thrush may refer to candidiasis in the mouths of babies, while if occurring in the mouth or throat of adults it may also be termed
candidosis or
moniliasis. Aside from that, the ORAL THRUSH is much thicker whitening compared to GEOGRAPHIC TONGUE.

NOTE: Mao na ang babies, even when they are still young or newborn needs their ORAL HEALTH checked or cleaned gyud! Using a GAUZE bandage wrapped around your finger and wiping it on the tongue of the baby every now and then is very important para dili siya mahimong ORAL THRUSH or ORAL CANDIDIASIS. Additionally, having a baby bottle with water is essential. Having the baby drink water after finishing his or her milk bottle is good for prevention not only for ORAL THRUSH but also for DENTAL CAVITIES for babies 6 months onwards! hhehehe
