I noticed around three weeks ago I had this spot inside my cheek. I forgot about it and I felt the spot with my tongue and I'm so scared because it's still there! I don't wanna go to the docs cause I've been there and back 12 times in a few months now. It's like a dark red dot surrounded by fleshy white tissue. It's painless and I have a similar looking thing further up my cheek. I don't know If if it healed because I don't remember. And even if it did why would it come back? I'm a 17 yr old non smoker too which pretty much says I don't have oral ca.... Right? Or am I just unlucky? :(

Oral cancer is nearly always a patch, it sounds more like a blood blister bite have u bitten the inside of ur mouth, I sometimes bite my cheeks and get blood blister spots etc, gargle some salt water and see if it's gone in 1 week if not then go doctors or dentist and don't have no fizzy drink or spicy and make sure u don't bite ur cheek lol

Oh right yeah I'm on therapy at the moment and I'm on my 3rd appointment. Only had hyperchondria since February so no where near as long as u :o. it's basically like your brain is torturing you everyday isn't it? That's what it's like for me anyways lol.

Have you gone to the doctor??

Do you chew the inside of your cheek?
I often do this when I'm anxious.
Maybe you're not even aware of it, but I bet you do, too.
This is an old post. The OP hasn't logged in since November. I would venture to say he's fine Ok? ;)
Anoop, No one can diagnose from an image. If you're that concerned, certainly you can see your doctor but as 99.999% of the fears posted here, it's not the sinister thing you think it is :)
Positive thoughts
No I haven't.
Update: The dark spot completely disappeared in the evening on the same day.
Should I be worried about it or shall I ignore it?
You are asking people if you should be worried about something that doesn't even exist. And that's according to you. That's kind of silly.

I get those pretty frequently. they look just like the pics. Blood blister, Move on.
I've had this before. It's a blood blister from biting your cheek (possibly when you're sleeping).

Hey, sounds to me like you had a blood blister (nothing to panic about). I get them all the time and don't even realise I bit the inside of my cheek.
Hope this helps👌🏻
