Most of the time, black spots and patches on your tongue are a temporary condition. Good oral hygiene, changing your medication, or stopping smoking is enough to get rid of the black spots on your tongue, inside cheeks, or lips. However, if you have a black or discolored lesion on your tongue that doesn?t go away, you should have it checked by your doctor or dentist. On rare occasions, a dark-colored lump or patch on or under your tongue or on the side of the tongue could be a sign of oral cancer.
