Hi, I am an MDS in Oral Pathology - tongue lesions are my speciality, so I understand your worry about cancer. The area you have circled on the tip of tongue in the photo is inflamed / prominent fungiform papilla - commonly called Transient Lingual Papillitis / Lie bumps. This is completely benign and NOT cancer. It is very common. Cancer of tongue typically presents as a long-standing (>3 weeks) non-healing ulcer with pain, bleeding, hard margins, difficulty in moving tongue - which is not seen in your case or photo. Why it happens: 1. Local trauma - sharp tooth / accidental bite / hot & spicy food 2. Acidity, stress, lack of sleep 3. Vitamin B12 / Iron deficiency 4. Smoking / tobacco / strong mouthwash You mentioned it is there since 1 week, no pain, no difficulty eating - this also favours a benign inflammatory cause.

Hello Sir, It may not be cancer can only be justified via clinical intaoral examination not by assessment of a photograph. It is suggestive to avoid any kind of spicy food , aerated drinks and to avoid any adverse habit for a week and see . As most of the time tongue heals by its own and it is self limiting.
