Hello
Thank you for trusting HCM
Dear black spot in throat is difficult to tell causative until unless examination is done.
It may be due to post nasal drip cause hyperemia look darker than remaining tissue, it may due to reflux cause erosions on throat look reddish brown may appear like it black. Some time ulcer with crusting may appear like black.
Please consult your Ent surgeon he will examine and treat you accordingly.
