It seems to me fungal infection.
Apply candid mouth pain
And dento gel
If not resolved within 7-10 days, go to a nearby dentist.
Keep hydrated yourself.

Did you have any hot foOd that burnt your mouth or might have burnt your mouth ? If so it’s that ... or it could be an ulcer healing.
Could cancer present like this ? Yes .
Could it be cancer for you ? Highly unlikely.
If it’s persisting for more than 2 weeks then better take An opinion.
