Hello I am an RN workingon OB unit. Pt. states she thinks the 2 dark purplish spots on tongue may be from percocet she is using have never heard of this could it be a side effect? Looks to me like she bit her tongue but it is on both side of the front of the tongue and look more like brusies.

Hello

Thank you for trusting HCM

Dear probably it won't cause dark spots until unless you developed iron deficiency or be complex deficiency or Addison, so disease, or polyposis colon, Cushing syndrome etc.. But still until unless examination it is difficult to say what it is. Some macroglossia, seizures(side effect) may cause tongue bite look like dark spots. Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly. I think I answered to your question if you have more questions please feel free to ask me.

Take care
