Need examination: You need to get an examination to determine the cause of the bald spots in you tongue , may be a geographic tongue but sensitivity to spices are also to count..

Holes in tongue: What do you mean by holes? See a dentist for an examination. Your tongue's condition needs to be seen to give you an answer.This is the best way to find an answer.

Tongue condition: I'll assume you mean areas on your tongue that seem "bald" rather that actual "holes" in your tongue. I would venture a guess that what you have is known as geographic tongue. People can have allergies and sensitivities and most cannot be "cured". Rather one has to live with some limitations.
