hi and welcome,
Appereance of white or red bumps on the oral mucosa is seen due to several reasons ;
It can be a allergic reaction to certain food stuffs , deficiency or vitamins especially vitamin B 12 and vitamin C may lead to oral lesions.
Habits like tobacco chewing ,smoking and alcohol consumption may also lead to oral inflammation and lesion.
these bumps can be bening or malignant lesions but needs clinical evaluation before confirming.
Exact diagnosis can be made only after clinical examination and pathological tests .
i would suggest you to consult and oral surgeon and get the evaluation done.
Meantime avoid tobacco chewing and other habits if any .
start with a multivitamin supplement course for 7 to 10days and maintain good oral hygiene to prevent infection.
i hope this helps ,
take care.

Hi thanks for your question.
The bumps you are mentioning inside your mouth could be aphthous ulcers.These are benign ulcers and tabacco chewing is one of causes.Other common causes include spicy food and stress.There is nothing to worry,get youself examined by a physician or a dental surgeon.Stop chewing tabacco altogether as it can produce oral cancer in long run.
Hope this answers your question.
