Why does the language turn black?

In the absence of plaque, the black color of the organ is due to a fairly rare disease - Crohn's disease. The language does not change shape, but sharply darkens from the middle to the edges. Crohn's disease and, as a consequence, black tongue have the following reasons:

1. The adrenal glands do not produce enough hormones.
2. Increases the concentration of melanin in the skin and mucous membranes.
3. Gradually inflamed all the organs of the gastrointestinal tract.
