thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. the lump at the bottom of the denture over the mucosa could be because of the chronic irritation to the soft tissues by the denture resulting in a outgrowth of tissue called epulis fissuratum. the tightness of the denture or rough surface might be causing trauma to the ridge and the mucosa resulting in ulcer. consult your oral physician and get the growth removed and reduce the denture borders. i hope my answer will help you. take care.
