Worried about mouth cancer
I am a 22 year old young man. 6 months ago I had a blister on my cheek near my wisdom tooth. Initially it was painful and red and was also a little raised, but after some time the pain and redness disappeared and a white round spot remained which was not healing. I consulted many dentists, all of them advised me to get my wisdom tooth removed. Then I got my wisdom tooth removed 2 months ago but still this white spot has not healed completely. I used to eat paan masala earlier, but as soon as this problem occurred, I stopped eating it. Now I am not used to it. Now I am scared and worried that I might have mouth cancer. Please tell me what this is and whether it can cause mouth cancer.
