What Are The Small White Bumps On My Inner Cheek?

I have very small white bumps on the inside of my cheek. They don t hurt and can be easily scraped off. My boyfriend says he has sores on the roof of his mouth; I m not sure if the two are intertwined in away though. What could the bumps be and the possible causes of them?

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
These white bumps can be just a normal finding of oral cavity called as Fordyce's granules, these are the collection of sebaceous glands in the cheek, so there is nothing to worry, but if in future there is pain or burning sensation in them, then you should visit your dentist for a proper checkup with other investigations.
Hope it will help you.
