Hi
With your query, nothing to worry definitely it would not be cancer it can come just like that so please be relax and cool. i think after wearing the dentures only sore gums would have appeared i believe do you have any discomfort after wearing these denture? do you smoke? are you maintaining good oral hygiene with the dentists instructions? are you removing dentures before going to sleep and keeping them in water? sore gums will go off by applying some gel ointments like dologel, mucopian etc... otherwise better consult your prosthodontist dentist for best treatment and get the dentures checked for any high points or irregularities.Hope this helps you
