Is It Due To Fungi Papillae There Is Black Spots On Tongue?

Hi,

I have black spots on my fungi papillae on my tongue, and it's been there for some years now. I just want to know if it can be removed by cleaning or any other option, because I'm starting to get really worried and embarrassed to show my tongue.

Please and thank you.
