Brief Answer:
Looks like Smoker's Melanosis..
Detailed Answer:
Hi..
Welcome back..
It is appearing like Smoker's Melanosis that is excessive pigmentation that can occur due to certain chemical substances present in smoke and also heat can cause increased melanin pigment formation..
However I would still suggest you to go for a clinical examination and a biopsy if needed for confirmation..
Any further questions are welcome..
