Lump in the inner cheek
Posted , 2 users are following.
Hello,
So like a month ago I woke up with a big, white lump inside my cheek right next to my gums. It really came out of nowhere as I haven't noticed anything earlier. After a day it wasn't white anymore and what was left was just a small lump. I didn't think much about it and just let it be, thinking that it would go away but it didn't even after a month. It got a little bit bigger but I barely can feel it with my finger and I have to use my tounge (it isn't noticable without touching it with a tounge). Can it be oral cancer? I searched online and I don't have any other sympthoms. I mean, I have some loose teeth and would sometimes struggle to speak some sentences but it was with me all my life. I'm turning 18 in 3 months and I've been smoking irregurarly ciggaretes for maybe 1,5 of a year and drink alcohol for the same amount of time but I drink only on the parties (which happen maybe every 1-2 weeks). It also deasn't hurt or anything. Idk if it matters but I remamber that I bit my tounge like a day before the lump happened. After a month I'm getting pretty worried, because it doesn't seem to be going away. Does anyone have some clues what might it be? Thanks for helping 😃.

It's probably just a mouth ulcer or you accidentally bit into the area similar to biting your tongue. If however you continue to be concerned, please go see your doctor who can put your mind at rest.

Okay you relieved me a bit but I am going to see a doctor if it won't disappear any time soon. Thanks! 😃
