See your dentist : It may be due to pigmentation from a foreign body, such as silver filling from the tooth. It can be a superficial vein that appears to be dark blue or even black. It may be pigmentation especially if you have dark complexion. It could be something more serious like melanoma, a type of cancer. I would recommend seeing your ddentist for evaluation and treatment.
