I have about 5 red sores under tongue. Three are horizontal. The rest are on the floor and behind the lower teeth gums. I have had on and off ear pain. I am 21 years old. Male. Smoked cigs for a year. Then switched to cope/grizzly smokeless. Then swedish snus. Have quit all of that. No tobacco for about 2-3 weeks. Have had the sores for over a month. Also occasionally getting sores in throat that go away then come back. The sores in mouth been there and not healed. Also have HPV unsure which strain. But gen warts outbreaks occasionally. So has anyone had red sores then test positive for oral cancer?
I have set up appointment with dentist for this week. Please let me know if red sores are known to be cancerous or more likely something else.
