For it to be oral cancer, it would actually have to be white, that's the cancer growing into the full blown thing!. So if theres nothing there, then I would say no, no oral cancer!. Watch what you eat, that has alot of effect on your mouth tissue!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Most likely its not oral cancer!. The probable cause of the sore is probally from some sort of trauma, i!.e!. you bit down on the inside of your cheek , or maybe while eating something you scraped off a thin layer of the tissue,leaving it irrirtated!. Try to leave the area alone, being careful not to re-traumatize it!. Warm salt water rinses may also be beneficial, just dont swallow the water!. Give it a few days, if it gets worse though, you should see a Dr!. Good luckWww@Answer-Health@Com
Could just be a canker sore!. Try putting some hydrogen peroxide on a q tip and dabbing it on there for a day or two - especially when you go to bed so you wont be eating or drinking anything!. If it doesnt go away in a week or two, make an appointment with your dentist!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Don't worry its not cancer! That is very rare and it sounds like a canker sore to me, which should clear up in a few days!.
Gargling salt water would help, that will help to kill the germs that started the canker soreWww@Answer-Health@Com
