What Causes The Darkness And Large Spot On The Under Side Of The Tongue?
The left under-side of my tongue by the vein is dark and looks like a large spot; no lumps or bumps. The left side is blue by is justing showing regular veins. I take an adult Bayer every day for years (following a blood clot 13 years ago in my leg from Tamoxafin), so thought maybe blood flow-related. Is this a sign of melanoma or is it normal?Thank you.

Hello,
Thanks for your query.
It can be possible that these are racial pigmentation, means in some people they are present since childhood and there is nothing to worry about it , as they do not cause any problem.
But keep observing them, if in future there is problem in them then go for the examination and treatment.
I do hope that you have found something helpful and I will be glad to answer any further query.
Take care
