Cancer or normal? it is white skin near back of mouth on cheek , ear really hurts, don't smoke. i am 24 and never had this what is this?

See a doc/dentist!: Even though you don't smoke, you can be at risk for oral cancer. A virus called HPV can cause oral cancer, and it can appear like white skin in your mouth. Other non-cancer things can also cause this, but with your ear hurting it's really important you see either a dentist or a doctor right away. Even if it is cancer, it can be cured and the earlier they treat it the better.
