Tongue Cancer?
Question:
Answers:
I very much doubt that you have toungue cancer. Its probably just a little ulcer. If you're seriously worried about it, or its constantly bleeding, failing to get better within a week, are experiencing severe pain or it is growing rapidy you should consult a doctor. And i'm sorry to give you this lecture lol, but smoking gives you a lot more than tongue cancer, lung cancer for instance carries an 85% mortality rate, you're also likely to suffer cardiovascular complications/disorders etc etc. So dont give in to peer pressure, quit smoking while you're young! :)
Just to put your mind at ease, 2 months of smoking is unlikely to have a massive carcinogenic impact on your mouth. But just to keep you on the edge so you dont do it again in the future i'll say this: if you're predisposed to develop a cancer due to your genetics, smoking might just tip your cells on the cancerous side, its just not worth it. At least you realised the dangers early on.
It is probably nothing, do not worry about it.
Do not smoke, there is no good to it
Go to your parents with it. It has nothing to do with smoking for two months and it is highly unlikely that it is cancer. Sounds like maybe an inflamed taste bud. Go to your parents and maybe they might want the doctor to look just to be sure.
Very, very doubtful. The lump will probably go away in a few days. If it doesn't, I would get it checked out, but it is very unlikely that smoking for a month or two would give you tongue cancer.
You must go to an Otolaryngology office for further examinations and if there is any suspicion : proceeding with and excisional biopsy . There is nothing for shame! , tell it to your parents as soon as possible , they will help you for following a correct work up . There is no relation between 1mo smoking and oral cancer! , but stop this disaster from now . Don't worry . . .
