    Red patch in mouth

    Hi guys I'm new here,
    I have a red patch in the corner of my mouth, not sure if its Erythroplakia or not, but I'm very very very scared about what it is and what it might develop into. I noticed it two days ago but I'm not sure how long it's been here.

    I assume you have been googling as I have no idea what Erythroplakia is.

    If you are worried please see a doctor as we can't give medical advice or diagnose on here.

    Re: Red patch in mouth

    No one here can tell you that. I don't even know what it is!

    While I'm not a fan of paid reassurance, perhaps a doctor would be the best bet.

    Hiyer,

    I don't know what this condition is either I'm afraid, not being a medic and this not being a medical site. Sorry I can't help, I can see how anxious you are about it, but seeing a GP would probably be the best thing to do.

    Yes I know but my parents won’t let me because I’ve had anxiety scares before and they turned out to be normal and they think it’s just some “oral sore” or something but I’m sorry for using google but everything says it’s Erythroplakia and it can be precancerous so I’m scared

    So, where is this 'oral sore' ? Right inside your mouth ? WHat makes you think its a precursor to cancer?

    Well, yeah, google would come up with that wouldn't it....nobody ever sees the simple and easy,minor health conditions it could be...they jump to the most unlikely.

    Yea, there’s just nothing that it really could be other than that to be honest

    Re: Red patch in mouth

    How long have you had it? Is it accompanied by any other symptoms? Do you smoke? You seem quite young as you mentioned your parents. I think mouth cancer in someone young would be pretty rare. I get sore patches and ulcers in my mouth all the time, especially when I’m run down x
