Black Spot on Tongue

Black Spot on Tongue

My father woke up this morning to find a black spot on the side of his tongue towards the back of his mouth. He says that it burns a little and hurts - but its not bumpy or anything.

My father is pretty old school - so having him go to the doctors would require a SWAT team.

any idea? could this be an infection?

I'm sure everything is okay now but as dumb as it sounds, sometimes Pepto-Bismol causes black spots on the tongue (especially chewable ones). Did he have any Pepto the night before?
