Hi ! This isn’t pigmentation actually.. the pigmentation appears too thick over your tongue but it seems to be spreading.. don’t neglect.. consult your gynaecologist first and later consult the particular speacialist recommended by her .. becoz we shouldn’t take a chance during pregnancy.. if there is no harm itz fine .. but what if it is .. ?? Kindly consult.. your doctor!

Don't worry, it's just pigmentation. It could be the result of a drug side effect as well. If it spreads and you experience any discomfort, such as a burning feeling, you should see a dentist on Practo .

Hello!
Just melanin pigmentation similar to moles.
Nothing serious
No need of any treatment or management as it's harmless it's just like normal moles on body.
