i have 2 small white crater looking sores on my lip, a tickalish spot on the roof of my mouth, and today i found a sore under my lower lip by the spit glands, i have had sores like this a bunch of times, you know.. one comes and then another and so on, but the sores on my lower lip has been there for a while and i cant rslly feel it but when i drink like orange juice or vinigar it hurts
a little while back i had a sore on my upper gum but it left, this was at the same time that the two small sores on my lower lip where around, also.. i have had a lump on my ear and on my face for a long time even when i didnt have sores
what are the possibliitys of what this is? should i be worried? is there any way to check for cancer by myself? and anything else that you think would help reliev me would be appreciated

Hi johnnyjohn

Please go and see your doctor/dentist for referral to a maxillfacial specialist for an opinion. No sense pondering 'to go or not to go', Hamlet was tragic!
