Help please! Do I have cancer??

[ScaredSilly81]

I recently had a severe tooth infection with cellulitis in my left face/jaw. I caused the left half of my chin to go numb.  I had 4 teeth removed by an oral surgeon 3 months ago. I was left with a large lump in my jaw and still have very little feeling in my left chin. I had a CT scan done that said there was "nonspecific soft tissue prominence" in my jaw. I returned to my oral surgeon with this information and he said it was just "extra fat". This doesn't sound right. The mass seems to be spreading in a thin line across the front of my chin to the right side of my jaw. I can also see white mass beneath the skin inside my mouth.
Do I have cancer?  Should I be worried?

There is an enlargement of soft tissue, which may not be pathological, or, it can be variation of normal anatomy.

What could "nonspecific soft tissue prominence" indicate?

Your descriptions don't suggest presence of cancer.
