I took a picture of the roof of my mouth so I could see a raw spot that has been bugging me, and when I looked at the picture I also found little black dots on the roof of my mouth. I dont have any pain in my mouth other than my raw spot. What could the black dots be?
Hi, I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint it seems that a raw spot on roof of mouth can be due to torn mucosa caused due to any hard foods, burning with hot foods or chemicals, Canker sore formation etc. Secondly, black spots scattered on the roof of mouth can be due to melanin pigmentation caused due to most common factor like smoking. It can also be due to any medications if you take. Another cause however very rare can be a Melanoma. Consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated, and a thorough clinical evaluation has to be done. In case if it is due to smoke then cessation of smoking habits can gradually resolve pigmentation. The same is with medication. As of now for sore spot apply numbing gel containing Lidocaine. And take anti-inflammatory painkillers like Ibuprofen. Hope this information helps. Let me know if I can assist you further. Thanks and regards,
