Don't stress. Not sure what your risk factors are (smoking, chewing tobacco, alcohol), but internet searches are not the way to go. You'll need to make an appointment with a local dentist or oral who can actually examine you and biopsy the lesions if it is necessary.

A MELANOMA IS EXTREMELY RARE IN ORAL CAVITY,ONLY 2% OCCUR IN MOUTH.THE PIGMENT COULD BE NORMAL FOR YOU OR FROM MEDICATION. SEE AN ORAL SURGEON FOR A CONSULT.
