What Could Cause Black /grey Spots On Lips After Rinsing Mouth From Silver Nitrate?

I used a silver nitrate stick for a canker sore. After, I rinsed my mouth out with water and I guess some of the silver nitrate got on my lip when I spit it out. Now I have a small gray/black spot on my lower lip. Will this go away? If so, how long will it take?

Thanks for using Health care magic.

Read ur query..Yes a small stain of silver nitrate will go off within a few days. If it still persists after a week or so ,kindly get a check up done from a dentist.

Hope this was useful.

Thanks and regards.
