Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query blackhead inside mouth is nothing but collection of blood filled blister. It could be oral melanotic macule which is completely painless and harmless. I would suggest you to maintain proper oral hygiene of your child. Get it surgically removed if it is aesthetically not looking good to you. Visit oral surgeon once and get it examined. Go for biopsy of lesion to rule out any systemic pathology. You can start treatment once proper diagnosis is made.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
