I have noticed that I have 3 fleshed colored dots on the inside of my cheek that connect. (Toward the very back by where by back teeth would be). Then I have 1 right next to them that doesn t connect. They are painless, they don t itch . They appear to look very similar to a scar . I go to the dentist Friday, and I m scared to death he is going to tell me I have mouth cancer or something. This fear is causing me to have panic attacks. Does this sound like it could be cancer, or do you have any other suggestions of what it could be?
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, brother do not assume or presume by yourself. Flesh color spot may be due to biting cusps of tooth also. If you have any chewing habit then also, cancer do not start very fast and if you have any such habit then stop it immediately. If the condition you think by yourself as cancer then you might not be able to eat properly from that side, or it would have been difficult for you to rotate the neck smoothly also. And what you have mentioned do not give such assumptions, so take a deep breath and visit the dentist and for your personal safety ask him/her for the biopsy report also. Thanks
