The patch that you mentioned on your tongue needs to be assessed carefully. I would advice you to visit a Dentist or an Oral Pathologist who would examine the area, find the causative factor and give you a detailed treatment plan. It is impossible to give you an exact treatment plan without looking at the lesion. Consulting a Doctor from any other specialization is something which one can say only after examining the lesion
