Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
Imatinib mesylate (Gleevec) is a protein inhibitor used in the management of several hematological malignancies associated with side effects like hyperpigmentation of the oral mucosa. In your case, the gray and purple spots are because of the side effects of the glee vac 400. Nothing to be panic, it will not trouble you as such, only appearance wise it might bother you. Once you stop the drugs, then it will resolve by its own.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
