    Tiny white lump/spot on gum - mouth cancer?

    I was feeling around my mouth with my tongue and just below my two middle teeth on the bottom gum(tongue side) i felt a small little lump, i looked in the mirror and i could slightly see a a tiny white mark below my tooth and it is slightly raised, it is only tiny(alot smaller than peasized) it took a while for me to spot it properly, but was painless, you cant see a lump by looking at it but feels slightly raised with my finger. the other side of my gum(front) is slightly sore.

    It is not an ulcer as i know what they are like but now i am so scared i have mouth/oral cancer! :(

    Having had oral cancer, it typically won't present like that. The fact that you have trouble even seeing it and feeling it speaks volumes that it's not something sinister.
