A member asked:

Lip. rough feeling very white spot with tiny red dot came up just inside lip. may have bit or night guard stuck. lip cancer fast growing? no smoker

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably not cancer: Lip cancers usually do not come on suddenly like that. Probably trauma like you think. However , if the lesion persists for more than two weeks or recurs you should get it checked by your dentist for sure.
