Hi,
You seem to have bad habit of sucking roof of mouth. It may be pschologial disorder related to obssessive compulsury disorder. Due to heavy sucking, there may be damage to palatal mucosa and that may be followed by blood oozing from palatal mucosa,which would fall on tongue that you have seen.. Do not worry, just avoid the habit of sucking palatal mucosa. You consult dermatologist or psychiatrist. Take antipsychotic drug. I think you may be alright. I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
