The most common: That is the most common form of presentation. If you continue to worry so much about having cancer, you should consult your general dr who would reassure you about this, other types of risks, and screen for need of psychological/ psychiatric help, in case that your worries persists even after reassurance.

Quit worrying first: Cancer in the mouth is highly unlikely to develop in a 23 year old. Once you accept this as a fact of life, then you do not need to be thinking or looking for cancer. If you have cancer in the mouth you will not have hard time finding it or knowing that it is there as it will form an ulcer or growth which is not going away and is growing in size. So it is not a subtle finding that anyone can miss.
