So I got this white spot in my mouth about 2 days ago. At first I figured it was a small cut, because I was eating some sort of food and it did scratch my gums, so i figured thats all it was. It's in an odd spot too..its on the top gum, kind of at the point where the gums and the skin in the back of the lip meet..up in there.
Then, because Im a hypochondriac, I started checking symptoms of oral cancer...this white spot is the only thing that would be a sign. And it hasn't gotten bigger. I also put a bit of peroxide on it, and it got little..bubbles- like what would happen if you put it on a cut on the skin.
I'm hoping it's just a canker sore. I have smoked for a year and a half also. So I know that increases the chances of cancer.
I plan to get it checked out if it does not go away within 2 weeks or so.
Any help is appreciated.
