What Causes A Lump On The Jaw Bone?
Hi, I have a pea size lump on my jaw bone, just by the corner. It was at first bigger and painful, inflamed, and as I am pregnant I assumed it was hormonal. Now it has shrunk in size and is no longer painful but will not go. It does not move around but is not attached to the jaw bone. I am 31, 5 months pregnant. 5ft 1 normal weight for height and pregnancy
