Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
The type of spots or papilla which you are mentioning that it comes and goes off , it looks that you are having geograhic tongue, actually it is a condition in which there are spots present on tongue with white borders, and they change there pattern.
There is nothing to worry about it, as it is a common condition.
Just maintain your oral hygiene.
Hope it will help you.
