Unknown brown spots on the soft palate.

2025-08-23 07:27:11
For a few days, I am able to see these few brown spots on the soft palate, but do not know the exact reason for these. I used to smoke mildly but have left smoking completely. The spots are not painful and I do not have any other symptoms for the same. Kindly let me know the possible causes behind this.
