A doctor has provided 1 answer
Acid reflux: The acid that is refluxing from your stomach into your throat and mouth can cause color changes in the tissues in these areas, including the spots in the back of your mouth.Once you begin therapy for your GERD and symptoms get under control, the tissues should get back to normal and return to normal color. If not, then see dentist or oral surgeon to evaluate the spots. Usually 4-8 weeks to resolve
