it may be a dental abscess. What age are you and do you smoke? Oral cancers tend to strike exclusively in people aged over 50 and generally they're smokers.

Sound like an gum abscess careful popping it because the fluid inside of it is full of bacteria it's best to have it drained professionally by any chance does the fluid have an odor? If it does then it is definitely an abscess can be one either way though. You mentioned it keeps coming back it will keep coming back until you take care of the problem tooth That's causing it.

Highly unlikely to be cancer, and in fact sounds exactly like a dental abscess. See a dentist, you may need a root canal.

Go to a dentist. There is literally zero point in you posting about it to a forum full of strangers. Just go to a dentist and have the issue resolved. It sounds nothing like oral cancer and sounds exactly like a dental abscess which is very very common and reletavely easy to treat.

^^^ That ^^^ Especially in light of the lack of dental care in recent years.

Well sorry to seem a bit harsh, but that's just silly. Why would you even begin to think it's cancer? Its blatantly an abscess. What treatment are they giving you?
