[worrywort12]

Hi I was wondering does anyone know if oral tounge cancer can get smaller i have a small red and white spot on tip of tounge like the size of the tip of a pin, but like a week ago it was the size of a tear drop and was a clear gray color and I could feel more of the bump on my tongue then and know I can barley feel it plus it has never hurt .so I was worried it could be cancer I don't drink and have not smoked in 4 years I only use the e cigg so does any one no if cancer can shrink ?

Hi,
What other symptoms are present? I understand your concern regarding this and while tongue or oral cancer may be painless and asymptomatic in the earlier stages,   your dentist or doctor may help with the diagnosis.  It may appear as a white or red patch of tissue in the mouth, or a small indurated ulcer which looks like a common canker sore.If it persists and it does not heal within 14 days, it is best that you have this checked by your doctor for proper evaluation. Take care and do keep us posted.
