Let me explain: Some diseases are marked by an increase in melanin production. Just to name a few, the rare endocrine disorder addison's disease, the hereditary intestinal disease peutz-jeghers syndrome and the bone ailment von recklinghausen's disease can all cause patches of darkening and discoloration that can affect the gums as well as other parts of the body. Minocycline, antimalarial agents also.
