Talk with your doctor regarding any concerns you have about the spot on your tongue, because the spot might be a symptom of another health issue.

As for the tongue being affected by thyroid conditions: Endocrine Web says that in some severe cases of hypothyroidism a thyroid patient can have an increase in tongue size.

Meanwhile, the Mayo Clinic points out that infants who are born without a thyroid gland, or a thyroid gland that is underactive, can have a large, protruding tongue. Furthermore, the Mayo Clinic suggests that some people dealing with endocrine disorders like Diabetes or hypothyroidism might also experience burning mouth syndrome.
