hello, inside my lower lip, at the bottom where it connects under the gums of my bottom front teeth, there are very vidid purple veins, and the general area seems to stand out as a vivid purple, plus i have a canker sore on my gums around there...should i be checking that out to clear any worries of oral cancer?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Oral cancer can present as ulcer, rough, insensitive area, whitish plaque, bleeding necrotic mass, polyp etc. And for conformation, biopsy from the lesion is necessary. So for clearing your worries about cancer, better to get done biopsy and histopathological examination to rule out cancer. If this is nonmalignant lesion than no need to worry about oral cancer. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
