What Is The Dark Brown Spot On The Gums?
I have a few dark brown spots on my gums that are a bit tender to the touch. It first started of as just a small brown dot but has expanded and now is moderately large. I do use smokeless tobacco and these spots are located where I usually put my chew at. I have attached a current picture. And ideas what this may be?

Please your periodontist every thing will become normal. CONSUMPTION OF NICOTINE IN ANY FORM MAY CAUSE CANCER INCLUDIBG PAN OR GUTKHA CHEWING.
