It could be an irritation or it could be something serious. Its not possible to tell whats going on over the computer. If you have a sore in your mouth that has been there for over 2 weeks then you should get it checked by a professional. An oral surgeon, dentist or ENT that are familiar with treating oral cancer patients is who you should go to. Oral cancer is not something you want to get. It is fast moving and deadly. Please do yourself a favor and get rid of the dip.
