RED FAT IN MOUTH
Hey All ,
I have something on the right side of my mouth , that doesn't create any irritation or pain , but it seems like a red fat structure in the mouth.
Does it relate to anything about mouth cancer or please suggest me as I am worried about it.
It is from the past 5-6 months and still intact here and doesn't create any problems to it.

This does not look like a typical presentation of oral cancer, which often involves persistent ulcers, bleeding, or painful lesions that increase in size.
However, it's always best to get it evaluated in person by an ENT specialist or oral surgeon, especially since it's been present for several months.
In the meantime, continue maintaining proper oral hygiene and monitor for any changes in size, color, or symptoms like pain or bleeding.

Hi. That red fat which you are referring to at the back of the tongue is called circumvallate papillae. Which are normal structures. They can be sometimes large. But nothing to worry.
