A cancerous tumor normally will not disappear and then return again after a few days. It would stay in the same place slowly growing.

Here is the photo gallery, Paul mentioned. It is a very good guide to help people understand how OC cant be diagnosed by sight. I think most people will be surprised by some of the photos that look like its no big deal and it is cancerous. Click on each photo then click on the word diagnosis to find out exactly what the person really had.
