Does Red Patches Beside Wisdom Tooth Indicate Cancer?

Hi, I am chewing gutkha( pan masala) from past 7-8 years and I have seen some red patches beside my wisdom tooth. Is this cancer?
I have some burning sensation as well from 2-3 days on my tongue and I have some pain in the right neck from past few days too. Please help

Gutka chewing is a risk factor for cancer so this red patch needs to be seen by an ENT specialist who after clinical examination of oral cavity and neck might want to take a biopsy of the red patch for exact histopathological diagnosis.
Please discuss it with your doctor.
