What Does A Lump On Inner Cheek Indicate?

Hi,
I had a ulcer 1 month ago that healed, but its now a little lump on the inside of my cheek. It's slightly red where the ulcer used to be and i'm a little concerned that it's not going away after 1 month. Is there any possible reason why the lump is still there and there's still a tiny 1-2mm bit of redness?

Hello,

Thanks for consulting HCM

Read your query as you have redness and lump like swelling on inner cheek this can be due to ulcer it can be due to Recurrent Apthous ulcer or it can be due to parotid salivary gland inflamation or infection in gums.
For this I will suggest you to consult your dentist for examination of cheek and inmeantime do warm saline rinses 2 -3 times a day and you can apply ointment like Mugel or Mucopain on cheek .

Hope this will help you.
