Hello
I have gone through your query.it might seem like a case of oral fibroma.oral traumatic fibroma is usually due to chronic irritation such as: cheek or lip biting or rubbing from a rough tooth. The common location for an oral fibroma is on the inside of the cheek where the upper and lower teeth meet.
It is usually due to chronic irritation such as:
cheek or lip biting
irritation from a rough/sharp tooth
dentures or other dental prostheses
Oral fibromas do not develop into oral cancer.
A biopsy may be taken to exclude other conditions or to remove the lesion.
The only option is surgical excision of the fibroma and eliminate the source of the irritation.
if i were your treating doctor i wud suggest you to visit a dentist for the exact diagnosis, cause and treatment of the lesion like smoothning of any rough tooth surface and removal of the fibroma.
Hope this ans helps
Regards
