Looks completely normal. Avoid using tongue cleaner instead use your brush.

Hi, white patch on your tongue that scraped off could be a fungal infection like oral thrush. The black color afterward may be due to minor bleeding, trauma, or healing pigmentation. Please avoid scraping it again. If it doesn’t heal in 7–10 days or worsens, consult a dentist or oral specialist for proper diagnosis and treatment.
