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.
Next Steps
For Reasurrance you should definitely visit a dentist and clinical check up done.
