Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
Actually sometimes because of drug reactions, there can be pigmentations and white lesion inside the oral cavity known as lichenoid reaction. But for confirm diagnosis you have to visit a good dentist and then go for the treatment.
Hope it will help you.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The black area under the tongue can be because of the varicose veins which are nothing but the dilated sub lingual veins. This is common in old age group. This does not require any treatment. Nothing to be panic, but consult a oral physician and get it evaluated to rule out if any other pathologies are there. Since based on your description we can come to this conclusion, but further examination can confirm the diagnosis.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
