A member asked:
Had a spot on tongue for 2 months if it was cancer would it grow or change color or hurt or anything?!?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
May be: Two months is not long enough to see increase in size in some caners. It is unlikely that it is cancer, however it would be prudent to see your doctor for an examination. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, low fat milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex.
