A member asked:

What to do if i have red painless bumps on the floor of my mouth, could this be cancer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need to examine: It would be preferable for you to see your doctor for an examination. It is likely that the "bumps" are normal, sub-mucosal salivary glands and not cancer.
