I'm not a doctor or a nurse so this isn't a diagnosis so please bare that in mind.

It sounds like you may have just torn the skin slightly on the top of your mouth whilst eating. Either that, or whilst brushing, you may have done the same thing with your toothbrush.

I'm not going to describe the symptoms of mouth cancer as I do not want other members to read into it, but what you are describing doesn't fit in with the "known" symptoms, so hopefully that will reassure you.

If you are really unable to relax those thoughts, I would book an appointment to see a nurse or doctor. I'm sure it is something very simple but if it would put your mind at rest it's worth doing.
