Question: Small painless hard white bump on hard palate..one on each side. 2 Physicians assistants have looked and said everything looks healthy. I can feel them when I press hardly with my tongue but there isn't really much to see when I look with a mirror. What could this be?

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Thank you for using HCM to post your question.

I read carefully your question.

The bumps in the hard palate are part of the normal anatomy and structure of that part of the body. Especially if there isn't nothing visible, most probably is nothing to worry about.

I would recommend to keep an eye on it. If it happens that in 6 months it grows bigger, or you can see something visible than consider seeing it to a dermatologist. You can also follow-up with me and I can have a look on it, as soon as it grows enough to be shown in a picture.

Hope I have reassured you a bit. Let me know if you have more clarifications.
Otherwise please kindly close and rate the question.

Regards,
Dr. Papaqako.
