    You should have a doctor look at it right away. Oral cancer can appear in a variety of ways. The only way to be sure you don't have it is to go to the doctor. Oral cancers don't always hurt. A painless bump could be a harmless growth or it could be a tumor. Please get it looked at right away. It is better to be safe than sorry. If it is a cancer, it is very important to get treatment early. Getting treatment right away will improve your chances if it is cancer. Good luck! Try not to worry. :)
