Oral cancer concerns
Female, 22
I've had a spot on the roof of my mouth for years and it doesn't bother me at all. I figured it was due to the fact that I click the roof of my mouth even suck the roof of my mouth when my allergies act up J even do it in my sleep. I've recently gone to the dentist and they used a blue light and said I should get it checked out because it might be oral cancer. I'm concerned it might just be oral cancer due to the information I found online. From the picture it appears to be brown but it has white parts and it's a bit hard when I scratch at it.
No one can diagnose you from here, and you got a professional opinion to have it checked out, so that is what i would do.
