Thank you for sharing your concern about the black spot on your tongue. While most tongue discolorations are harmless, a persistent black spot lasting two weeks warrants proper evaluation to rule out underlying causes. Possible Causes of Black Spot on Tongue 1. Benign Conditions:    - Hairy tongue: Accumulation of keratin causing dark patches    - Pigmentation: Normal melanin deposits (common in darker skin tones)    - Trauma: Biting or burning the tongue 2. Nutritional Factors:    - Iron/B12/folate deficiency (can cause tongue discoloration)    - Smoking or certain medications 3. Less Common But Important:    - Oral melanotic macule (harmless but should be diagnosed)    - Rarely, early signs of oral melanoma (very uncommon in your age group) Recommended Next Steps: 1. Self-Examination:    - Check if the spot is raised/flat    - Note any changes in size/texture    - Monitor for pain/bleeding 2. Professional Evaluation Needed For:    - Any growing/changing lesion    - Spots that bleed easily    - Associated symptoms like pain or swelling 3. Diagnostic Options:    - Oral examination with torch light    - Possibly a biopsy if suspicious features exist Since this spot has persisted for two weeks despite normal blood tests, I recommend an in-person consultation for proper visualization and diagnosis. Many tongue discolorations are harmless, but professional assessment is crucial for accurate diagnosis and peace of mind.
