My tongue turns black some times and is whitish most of the times? I clean it regularly with tongue cleaner. Why do I some times have black tongue? My tongue is not smooth surface all over, it has kind of small not considerable grooves, and turns whitish most of the times.

Could be due to a vitamin deficiency or if you are consuming iron tablets. A blood test is needed to understand the problem.
