What Are The Symptoms Of Tongue Cancer?

Hi. I have this white flap thing under my tongue near the bottom of my mouth to the left. It has a whitish tip on the end of it. I have been smoking cigarettes on and off for the past three years. I know it might sound dumb but it scares me that it might be cancer. Please help me.

The white plaque can be leukoplakia which is a potentially malignant (cancerous) condition. The real answer would come from a biopsy and histopatholigical examination. Please discuss it with your doctor.
