What Causes A Hard Lump On The Left Cheek?
Hello, I noticed a few weeks ago a small rough-feeling spot right inside of my left cheek. This was shortly after burning the area with coffee AND biting it while chewing gum. Alos got poison ivy right around the same time, which is spreading, and I am going to the doctor today. The area is small, painless, can t see anything really, although I feel it has spread a little and now I can feel it all the time, not just when I check it with my tongue. When I woke up this morning it felt like I was sucking on that side/area of my mouth. I am panicking .. what is this??? I am 49, healthy, 5 4, 145 lbs.
