Usually cancer is painless until it involves adjacent nerves. It can be an ulcer which does not heal for long time. Especially in those who has history of tobacco habits. Or family history of cancer. In case of any doubt.. don't wait and take proper check up. You cannot diagnose diseases like cancer by asking questions about it.
