Question 1

black spot on roof of mouth is it cancer ? could it be caused by vaping

Accepted Answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without examining you and your symptoms warrant evaluation by a physician. You should stop using tobacco in any form including vaping.
For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. 
Practice safe sex.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Biopsy will answer: Your concern is understandable, but your doctor decided to go for biopsy since physical examination did not provide a satisfactory answer. I trust that you are trying to quit smoking, since risk of disease increases with increasing time of use of tobacco. Please keep your appointment and hope for the best.

Question 10

i have black spot insde my mouth. what causes this?

Accepted Answer

Many reasons for it: It depends on how long you have had this black spot. Some of the pigmented spots are birth marks and you may have not noticed it before. But if it is new, we need to know its size and growth pattern. If it is growing in size or bleeds, it may need a biopsy done by a dentist or or an oral surgeon. But first you should show it to your family doctor and get his/her opinion..
