Do i have mouth cancer?
the inner surfaces of my cheeks have these white stuff that feels like excess skin tissue (i'd chew them off but they'd grow back), and i occasionally have a blister under my tongue. One part of my gum bleeds, but i assume its because i used a toothpick. Do i have mouth cancer?
A loud NO.You see,the white patches you talk about inside your cheeks, are nothing but dead tissue.You have not mentioned whether you consume tobacco in any form or smoke cigarettee.In that case,white patches can be formed which are know as Leucoplakia.In leucoplakia,there is excess sloughing of tissue.The patch later on appears a little hard with bristle like appearence.The leucoplakia can, I repeat, CAN be a precursor to malignancy.It is deemed to be cancer in situ.But in your case I am confident that it is not so.Ulcers in mouth or blisters under tongue are common.Likewise,bleeding from gums also is common but to rest your anxiety,better get yourself check by a physician.Its a small cost considering the risk.
Live for the System!
You chew them off?? what are you?! Tarzan?? Anyway, see the doctor..

Go see a doctor because you have a problem

It does not appear so, my daughter had a small lump under the back of the tongue which was cancerous. The lump was just that, about the size of a small pea.

i answered your other question-you seem overly paranoid that you might have SOME form of cancer. try to relax-you're more than likey just fine.
make an appt to see your dentist if you really that concerned about it. you should be seeing a dentist on a regular basis to maintain healthy mouth and teeth (about every 6 months)
the dentist is the only one who can tell you if he/she thinks you have cancer-testing would have to be done on the tissue inside your mouth

it is not caused by drinking coffee lol
Cancer of the Mouth and Throat
Cancer of the Mouth and Throat Overview
The oral cavity (mouth) and the upper part of the throat (pharynx) have roles in many important functions, including breathing, talking, chewing, and swallowing. The mouth and upper throat are sometimes referred to as the oropharynx. The important structures of the mouth and upper throat include the following:
Lips
Inside lining of the cheeks (buccal mucosa)
Teeth
Gums
Tongue
Floor of the mouth
Back of the throat, including the tonsils (oropharynx)
Roof of the mouth (the bony front part [hard palate] and the softer rear part [soft palate])
Area behind the wisdom teeth
Salivary glands
Many different cell types make up these different structures. Cancer occurs when normal cells undergo a transformation whereby they grow and multiply without normal controls.
As the cells multiply, they form small abnormalities called lesions. Eventually, they form a mass called a tumor.
Tumors are cancerous only if they are malignant. This means that, because of their uncontrolled growth, they encroach on and invade neighboring tissues.
Malignant tumors may spread to neighboring tissues by direct invasion or by traveling along lymphatic vessels and nerves or through the blood stream.
They may also travel to remote organs via the bloodstream.
This process of invading and spreading to other organs is called metastasis.
Tumors overwhelm surrounding tissues by invading their space and taking the oxygen and nutrients they need to survive and function.
Tumors in the mouth and throat include both benign and malignant types.
Benign tumors, although they may grow and penetrate below the surface layer of tissue, do not spread by metastasis to other parts of the body.
Benign tumors of the oropharynx are not discussed here.
Premalignant conditions are cell changes that are not cancer but which may become cancer if not treated.
Dysplasia is another name for these precancerous cell changes.
Dysplasia can be detected only by taking a biopsy of the lesion. This means to collect a tiny sample of the abnormal area.
Examining the dysplastic cells under a microscope indicates how severe the changes are and how likely the lesion is to become cancerous.
The dysplastic changes are usually described as mild, moderately severe, or severe.
The 2 most common kinds of premalignant lesions in the oropharynx are leukoplakia and erythroplakia.
Leukoplakia is a white or whitish area. It can often be easily scraped off without bleeding. Only about 5% of leukoplakias are cancerous at diagnosis or will become cancerous within 10 years if not treated.
Erythroplakia is a raised, red area. If scraped, it may bleed. Erythroplakia is generally more severe than leukoplakia and has a higher chance of becoming cancerous over time.
