Could Painful Inflamed Right Flap Under Tongue Indicates Cancer?
I dip tobacco, have been for a couple years now. Just recently, (maybe 3 days) my right flap under my tounge has started to become inflammed. It's just red, and hurts slightly as it brushes against my teeth. Does Cancer usually occur in this spot? Could it be due to sucking or creating suction in the mouth due to dipping?

Hello
I have studied your case
You symptoms indicate trauma to oral mucosa .
This trauma can be mechanical due to sucking or it may be due to chronic inflammation due to tobbaco chewing.
You need to consult your doctor and do required investigation.
Do not neglect it.
Wish you good health
Take care.
