What Causes White Spots On The Tongue With Pain?

Hi, about 10 hours ago I noticed my tongue hurts and it's white and has some tiny red spots (I have had this thing before many times so i'm not worried about it) but my the right side hurts and I noticed it has a small black spot. I touched it and i think it could be an eschar but i was wondering if that's even possible since i think i have not bit my tongue.

thanks for your query. i have gone through your query. the white and red spot could be because of the trauma resulting in an ulcer and a white hyperkeratotic area due to chronic irritation. it can be candidal infection also consult you oral physician and get yourself examined to rule out these conditions and meanwhile you can take topical anesthetic and analgesics to reduce the pain. later if it is confirmed that it is fungal infection then you can start with topical antifungals like candid mouth paint. i hope my answer will help you. take care
