Even if your photos had been shown on the forum (they didnt work???) we would not have been able to identify what it was. Its best to find an ENT who specializes in oral cancer to give you a thorough exam. Only thru a biopsy would they be able to determine if the tissue is cancerous or not. It could be any number of things other than cancer. Hopefully its nothing too serious and can easily get corrected.
