Mouth ulcer
I used a new brush couple of days back and from then my gum skin scraped. I am scared if this is cancer. There's a small ulcer near the scraped skin. Attached pictures. The first one taken two days back is marked with black and today is without any mark. Is it healing ? I also used listerine in the last two days

As per given history it seems lika a traumatic ulcer and by comparing two photographs healing can be seen.
Wait for few days, if it doesn't heal then consult doctor online or offline.
Add multivitamins in your diet .
Drink more water.

According to your history, it could be a traumatic ulcer and it appears to be healing.. so please don’t panic and change your tooth brush to a soft bristle one and also brush up and down in the back teeth rather than front to back.. if the ulcer doesn’t subside in a week or so, please visit a dentist.
