First, find a specialist, someone who treats oral cancer patients like an ENT (ear, nose and throat specialist) and get checked out.
Second, completely eliminate the chewing tobacco and avoid ALL forms of tobacco from here on out. There are hundreds of known cancer causing additives in every type of tobacco. This is probably what is making the black spots. Give your mouth a chance to heel from the tobacco and hopefully the spots will disappear. Let this scare be your wake up call to not use tobacco ever again.
