Tongue has purple spots on it, is this worrying?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Purple spots: It might be blood clots or varicose veins. However, it should be clinically seen and evaluated by your dentist. Without personally examining you, we have no way of knowing what in fact it is and not all lesions are benign.
