Most probably it should be a blood clot and you can get it checked by brush biopsy which is a non-invasive method to check oral lesions which can check malignant cell by an accuracy of 1 on 10000 cells.
It may be a harmless pigmentation so you just need to examine it and take appropriate steps only if you need any change in its size or if you have any pigments.
Thanks and regards.
