The reason may be a physiological or pathological condition with your tongue, which could range from a minor condition like geographic tongue to something extreme like erythroplakia which is pre cancerous. Don't panic.
Next Steps
Meet a dentist soon and get a microbiological swab examination if required. Stop any habits that are worsening it, like smoking or tobacco chewing.
