Should I Be Worried About The White Bumpy Blotch On The Inside Of My Cheeks?

Hi! Please help,
I have a small, slightly bumpy white splotch on the inside of both my cheeks. It is surrounded by small prominent purple veins. Is this cancerous? I'm a 23 year old non-smoking male. Should I wait a few days or see a dr immediately? Thank you for your kindness.

Thanks for posting your query to HCM.
After going through your history, I want to assure you not to get worried about it.
White spots in oral cavity can occur due to many reasons which can only be told after proper visual examination. Do you have any other skin problem as sometimes these spots may be related to other systemic conditions.
I would suggest you to visit a dentist and if needed a dermatologist for proper examination and treatment.
Hope my answer will help you.
