Thanks for using Health care Magic.
Read your query.
The red spot looks like that it is an abscess caused by the infection in the tooth or there is infection in the gum related to a particular tooth(periodontal abscess).
Get the tooth checked by the local dentist and undergo the needed treatment.
You cannot say as cancer before it is diagnosed.Relax and get the treatment done.
Do warm saline gargles.
Thanks and regards
