What Causes Circular Spot On Roof Of Mouth?

21 years old- i have a brown somewhat circular spot on the roof of my mouth. it is about the size of a pea, maybe a bit smaller. i just noticed it today, which is leading me to not know how long it s actually been there. it s not painful. would a certain type of medication cause this? do you know what could cause this? is it serious?

Pigmentation on palate is usually seen in a condition called smokers palate. Chronic smoking leads to these type of pigmentation. If smoking is stopped this lesson is completly reversible.
