Spot on tongue: There is no way to know the answer to this without more information and a clinical examination. Make an appointment with your dentist for a thorough examination.

Likely nothing: When did you first notice them? The way you're describing them - doesn't seem like a mass/ulcer/anything else concerning. Of course without seeing a pic- impossible to say. Likely nothing - just monitor them the next few weeks and see a doc if you're still concerned.
