Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The blotchy pink spots over the tongue cam be a geographic tongue which is a developmental anomaly of the tongue, characterised by depapillation of the tongue. This can also occur secondary to nutritional deficiency.
Nothing to be panic. Consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. You need to take nutritional supplements.
I hope my answer will help you. Take care..
