What Causes Small Pink Colored Bump Inside The Mouth?
A few months ago i noticed a small pencil eraser size type bump inside my mouth. I keep biting that area of my mouth. Ive noticed it hasnt gone away an it has a black dot on the side of it. I have a doctors appointment soon but im worried. I do smoke, unfortunately. By the way, the bump is pink in color except for that spot. It is a little sore because it rubs up against my teeth or bitting it accidently.

Hello, Thank you for consulting with HCM.
The bump which is caused by biting on the cheek is called as traumatic ulcer , These bumps heal only after you get the cause removed, either get the tooth which is causing trauma removed or the sharp cusp of tooth should be grinded.
Better you visit a dentist and get complete treatment done.
Hope it will help you.
