- Spots are not raised from mucosa.
- Pain was there earlier. Since the ulcer has healed, pain also has reduced.
- If you look at the pic, there is brown color spots on the healed ulcer spot.
Let me know if hexidine can cause this staining ?.
Do I have to worry about anything else?

Brief Answer:
Nothing serious.
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
I have viewed the image and there is nothing to worry. The pigmentation can be due to the recent inflammation or even hexidine but still is nothing to worry about
It will get better on its own.
So please do not worry.
Thanks.
