A diagnosis can only be made after physical evaluation by your primary care physician.
It is possible this might be a case of oral lichen planus. Lichen planus is a rare, recurrent, itchy rash or area of inflammatory eruptions (lesions) of unknown origin characterized by shiny reddish-purple spots on the skin and gray-white ones in the mouth.
With oral lichen planus, there are a network of raised white lines on your tongue that has a lace-like appearance.
