What Causes A Bump Inside The Cheek?

inside the mucous lining of my left cheek is a 0.2 of an inch (or slightly smaller) bump - ? looks like haematoma - which I just notice about an hour ago. what could it be, as I have had experience of mouth ulcer occasionally, but never one like this before.

hellooo...read thru ur query...it can be caused due to some trauma to the cheek mucosa resulting in blood accumulation beneath the mucous membrane or can be an inflamed minor salivvary gland which could have been due to sudden bite of the cheek etc...dont worry nothing to be worried...just maintain a good oral hygiene..do warm salt water gargle..concentrate on that are whilegargling...if pain while swallowing apply lignogel before eating....wait for one or two weeks..if still not healing and pain comes...go to an oral surgeon ...he will do necessary treatment (surgical removal of minor salivary gland if needed).be cool..hope ur benefitted something by this reply..have a healthy weekend.!!
