thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the black or reddish mark on the cheek could be because of the bleeding that has ocurred during cheek bite and which has clot. or it can be melanin pigmentation secondary to cheek bite. dont worry it will not trouble you. if it is because of bleeding(ecchymosis) it heals in weeks. if it is pigmentation it might stay till you stop biting the cheek. i hope my answer will help you take care.
