Oral lesions: So hard to determine exactly what these lesions might be. Please see a local dentist for a proper diagnosis.

Vague: May be an abscessed tooth, but impossible to determine without an exam and x-rays. See a dentist ASAP.

Probably not: But I think if you are concerned about cancer, that you should have your dentist take a look.

Hard bumps: it is unlikely that these hard lumps are cancer. It is more likely that you have an infection. The only way to k ow for certain and to get the proper treatment is to see a dentist. Don't wait any longer. Schedule an appointment.

Lumps & Red Spots: Please see your Dentist for proper diagnosis and treatment. Obviously "popping" doesn't work. May be many different things, most probably infection. Red spots may be from irritation, burn, or many other other possibilities. Chance of cancer small, but you should be examined.
