Black discolouration on tongue is either caused by some medication, smoking, vitamin deficiency, bad oral hygiene or dry mouth. If you are a smoker then stop it. Prevention is better than cure. But if you are having lumps, swallowing problems or feel swelling on tongue on intervals then please see an oral surgeon, he will treat you with utmost care. Because with just pictorial representation of your tongue and not having any tests done, it is invalid to come to any conclusions. Good luck.
