hi- I found a black sore pustule in the back of my mouth this morning.

I am kind of freaked about it. I do not smoke cigarettes. I plan on getting it checked out all the same. Thanks

Hello whatisthis

It looks like a traumatic lesion, with a bit of bleeding/brusing causing the bleb. Could be caused by hard foods like crisps pushed against the gum by the unopposed lower wisdom tooth? See your dentist if it doesn't resolve in 2-3 weeks.
Hope that helps.

Let us know how you get on.

Best wishes
