I noticed a white lump on the inside of my cheek near my teeth this month after accidentally biting that spot last month. It seems to be growing, but I don't use tobacco or drink. Could this be mouth cancer? Is there any way to treat it naturally or without surgery? I'm really worried about this.

A white lump inside your cheek could be several things, including a benign condition like a bump caused by irritation, or potentially oral cancer, While some growths are benign and can be treated with topical or non-surgical options, others may require more aggressive treatment. It's crucial to consult a dentist or doctor for a proper diagnosis and treatment plan.

I'm starting to feel some roughness inside my mouth that I can't see, but I notice it every time my tongue touches the inside of my cheeks or lips. It's making my food taste spicier than it actually is when I'm eating. Also, I am a smoker. Could this be related to smoking, or is there something else I should be worried about?
