Oral Cancer Fears....Need advice!
So I've noticed that the inner lining of my mouth/cheek is kind of dry. You know how it's supposed to be smooth? So the right side feels like rough/patchy/dry? It feels like when you suck on a candy for too long on one side. Does anyone know what I am talking about. It feels like that and I have noticed that it's been there for maybe 1-2 months?
On the left side seems like a smaller patch/part of it and I can kind of see it. Same dryish rough feeling. But otherwise, without shining a light or really looking for it, the color is otherwise normal.
I am a little concerned because why do I have these? I did some digging around on Reddit and have seen very few posts with people having similar. I am wondering if it's maybe me biting my cheek at night, or the toothpaste I use or my wisdom teeth causing it? I just got them out today.
What could it be? I also read about about things more serious (like oral cancer) but that would be unlikely (i hope) because i am young, have no family history and am otherwise healthy and go to routine checkup and I heard it's pretty rare and more common amongst older individuals.
Kind of freaking out....
