What Causes Lump Inside The Cheeks?
Question: I am 78 yo female. I have Had a small lump on the inside of my cheek for about a month. No pain, but there are now 2 white patches beside it. I have only a Nurse Practitioner that I see but her office is quite incompetent and has not returned my request for an appointment. Were I to go elsewhere, who do you suggest I contact. I don't have a dentist or dental insurance. I retired after 25 years as a medical receptionist and have managed a dental office so I am a little more aware than the average person.
THANK you for your time.

The lump could be a simple Fibroma.
