I've noticed this red spot inside my cheek that just appeared today, and I'm a bit concerned about it. I go for regular oral check-ups and even take antioxidants to keep things in check. I do chew tobacco sometimes, though. I haven't had any issues with eating or opening my mouth, but the red spot is making me anxious. Could you shed some light on what this might be?
