Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of dark spot on the roof of mouth which could be because of allergic reaction due to any food product, any medication side effects and could be due to excessive cigarette smoking leads to formation of spots known as nicotine palatinus.
I would suggest you to visit your nearby dentist and general physician just to make sure that these areas are not because of any serious mouth pathology rather just because of effect of medication side effect. Maintain hygiene of oral cavity to prevent bacterial growth. Keep using antimicrobial mouthwash. Your doctor will take a sample from these dark spots and can go for biopsy for the same to find exact diagnosis and then treatment can be done accordingly.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
