Accepted Answer

Oral lesion &amp; mucus: It's not likely that you have an oral cancer at the age of 18. However, it is always wise to have new oral lesions checked out by a dentist or oral surgeon. The tongue mucus could be from lots of places....The sinuses? The throat? The chest? Or is it a substance from your mouth (just saliva)? You should be seen by your primary care provider and your dentist. But oral cancer is very UNLIKELY.
