You can't. Not even we can without histological confirmation, i.e., under a microscope. However, if you have any suspicious ulcerations that do not heal in 2 or 3 weeks or show signs of healing, white or red abnormal patches or growths that do not go away, or lumps and bumps or patterns that change shape or color that did not used to be there, you should go get it checked up.
Check for any changes in the color of the mucosa in the mouth or tongue or if you feel any knot or swelling under the tongue or near the neck. Get an annual screening for oral cancer done with your dentist.
