Hello I’m a very worried 16 yr old boy. I’ve had this bump under my tongue for atleast a year but didn’t pay any attention to it. Then today I decided to search it up and the only thing that shows up is things to do with Cancer. It’s red and painless and hasn’t grown in size but it’s always been there. Look I know I’m worried but please be honest if you think it’s anything to worry about.

Hi Chris. I'm pretty sure that this is nothing to worry about. If it's been there for a year without changing in size, and you have no other symptoms of being unwell or weight loss, I think it's a pretty good bet that it's absolutely nothing to concern you. BUT ..... you should go and let a doctor take a look at it. It could be a blocked salivary gland or some other minor problem. Not every lump leads to cancer. Go and let your G.P. put your mind at rest, that's what he's there for. Good luck.

I wouldn't worry! But, I would get it checked out. It could be many different things unrelated to cancer and even harmless...so just relax and wait to show your doctor.
