Cancer is started by a cell mutation in a single cell which makes it grow rapidly and make more similar fast growing cells creating a malignant (cancerous) tumor of many mutated cells. If not removed a malignant tumor will eventually start shedding cells that will travel to distant parts of the body where they start making more turmors.
The causes of why these cell mutations occur is not completely understood, but it is known that exposure to certain substances and chemicals greatly increases a person’s chances of developing cancer. Smoking and chewing tobacco contains chemicals that are associated with cell mutations that leads to cancer.
Lip and mouth cancer are strongly associated with chewing tobacco. It is also possible that a metal pick could have some type of chemical in it that could increase the chances of cell mutations that would lead to cancer.
