Please meet a general physician/MD general medicine/pulmonologist in your area . It could be due to inhalation of dark dust like coal dust or due to fungal infection. Sometimes it is a symptom of lung cancers. However, only a proper evaluation can figure out the cause which cant be done on this app.
