A member asked:

I have a black spot in back of mouth i don't know what it is but it doesn't hurt or anything. it just bothers me?

See doctor: You need to see a doctor and have them check this to make sure it is not a cancer or other serious problem in the mouth. It is probably just an area of darker pigmentation but you need to make sure.
