Suggest Treatment For Skin Flap In Inner Cheek

Ok so I have a painful soft skin flap on the inner side of my cheek. I've had it for about a week. It's to high in cheek to be caused by biting my cheek. Also a little back story I dp have large tori on outside top jaw and inside bottom jaw. Just my cheek touching it is painful tho. What could this be?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain the painful skin flap on the inner cheeks seems to be a Fibrous tissue overgrowth also known as a Fibroma..
As you have a large tori present on the outside of the top jaw or buccal surface of the upper jaw there is a possibility that there is continuous rubbing of the inner cheek with the tori leading to inflammation of the fibroma leading to inflammation..
I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation can help in diagnosis and treatment can be planned accordingly..
In case if it is a Fibroma it has to be removed easily under local anaesthesia..
As you also have a bony tori although it does not cause problem but it can be removed surgically to prevent further irritation to the cheek..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
