Hello . I understand your concern. The black mark is nothing but post pigmentation scar. Just like any scar in our body . Next mouth burning, you should go certain vitamin blood tests to detect the deficiency of vitamins if /any. After that you can go for supplements . Till than you can use Benziglo Mouthwash before food to give a soothing affect and prevent burning.
Next Steps
Visit Dentist if Burning lasts more than 15 days
Health Tips
Avoid too hot too spicy food

Based on your description, this does not sound immediately alarming, especially since the ulcer healed around 8 months ago and your dentist did not find any suspicious changes on examination. The dark pigmentation is likely post-inflammatory pigmentation, which can occur after a deep ulcer heals. The thin whitish area may simply represent healed scar tissue, which tends to be more sensitive. A burning sensation only while eating spicy, hot, or acidic foods can occur because the healed mucosa remains more sensitive than the surrounding tissue. However, since the symptoms have persisted for several months, it is worth ruling out contributing factors such as vitamin B12, iron or folate deficiency, oral candidiasis, allergies, dry mouth, or early burning mouth syndrome.
Next Steps
I would recommend: * Avoid spicy, acidic, and very hot foods for a few weeks. * Maintain good oral hygiene and stay well hydrated. * Get blood tests (CBC, Serum Ferritin/Iron, Vitamin B12, and Folate) if not already done. * If the burning persists, worsens, or if the pigmented area changes in size, shape, color, or develops a non-healing ulcer again, consult an Oral Medicine and Radiology specialist for a detailed evaluation. Occasionally, further investigations such as a biopsy may be advised if clinically indicated.

Picture is not much clear, but burning sensation after eating spicy food items indicate OLP or lichenoid reation. Some whitish strie around the ulcer should be present. Its an autoimmune type rxn in body which can be supress with medication. Any history of frequent tooth paste change/ switching to ayurvedic tooth paste like dantkanti or other.
