Multiple causes are known, Local irritants, such as smoking,chewing pan can result in varying degree of pigmentation.
Oral pigmented lesions result from cellular hyperplasia that can range from benign nevi to fatal oral melanoma.
consult an ENT surgeon who will be able to diagnose and treat your problem
