It would be very difficult for anyone to diagnose such a problem without seeing it - it certainly needs looking at by a doctor because your tongue is a very important part of the body. It could be something straightforward like a thrush infection or wart virus but obviously any abnormal changes anywhere on the body need checking out by your doctor.

Could be a flap of skin, could be a tumour.
Book a time to see your GP and find out!
Good Luck!! xx
