Bump on tongue

2018-02-12 05:41:18
I have a small painless bump under my tongue noticed it about 5 months ago and it hasn't changed.. I'm worried it's cancer but I'm only 17 and never smoked. I looked at the other side of my tongue and looks like there is the same bump but a little smaller in the same spot.. please help
