Question : Hello I have a supple white lesion for 3 weeks which regresses and returns. It seems to be placed next to a somewhat prominent tooth. Do you think it is a cancer of the language?

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear. I have seen the images. You should not worry. The white lesion doesnot look like cancer. However, if it causes pain or enlarges, then further evaluation is required. Till then no worries.
Thanks and regards
