Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
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 for oral cancer.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
