Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand..

As per your complain and history of tobacco chewing the marks under the tongue, if they are white patches then they can be due to Leukoplakia patches secondary to irritation in mouth by the tobacco leading to overproduction of keratin..
I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and in case if it is leukoplakia then avoiding tobacco chewing habit and taking beta-carotenes that are precursors of vitamin A, anti-oxidants like Lycopene and taking multvitamin supplements can help..
But as you are a tobacco chewer you should get evaluated by an expert soon for proper guidance..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
