What could this red patch be? I only found oral cancer!?


I have this red patch on the inside of my cheek.It looks like a wound. I have no STDs Ive been checked thank you...And plus I checked online for pictures and none match what I have... Just wanted to know if it was something to worry about. I have it now for about a week and it seems a little bit larger. Is there any medicine i could put on it to make it heal.. The only thing i found on the internet was that it is oral cancer but I cant find a picture that looks like it.

No i didnt put anything weird on it... I washed my mouth with salt water and its a whole lot better now

Is it possible that you bit your cheek, while asleep or something? It's happened to me. Or it could be an infection of some kind, perhaps sth. to do with a tooth infection if it is near the gums? Use antibacterial mouth solutions, and if it is not OK in a few days, go to the doctor or the dentist, he will probably know too.

hey...did u place anything wiered in this area like a new type of candy...a drug like aspirin......try to remeber and reply back...but dont worry it is not cancer
