Question:

Since the year 2003 I have had big black spots on my tonge and they have grown in number i would like to know the cause and cure. Their occurance also coincided with severe acidity and piles.  I am 33 years old.

Answer:

It would be impossible to say what these black spots represent, based on your description. Ideally you should be seen by an oral pathologist for further evaluation.
