Dark veiny patches under the side of my tongue and also in the area under my tongue(not on my tongue)but behind teeth.18 and doesn't smoke.normal?

Normal: Without examining you I would say what you are describing is normal anatomy. To be sure, however, you must be examined. If it has been more than 6 months since your last dental examination, you are overdue. Please see a Dentist.
