What Causes Dark Red Spots Inside Cheek And Throat Pain?
I have a dark red painless and small flat spot on the inside of my cheek. Also I have been having random stabbing throat pain which comes and goes quickly. Should I seek help for either of these things? I am normal weight and 21 years old. I smoke, but have never had any issues with my mouth or throat.

Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Dark spots in your mouth can be caused by a variety of things.
They can be related to benign lesions of your blood vessels, such as a hemangioma.
Some types of cancer can also show up as dark spots.
So,a physical examination is needed by an ENT specialist.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
