Suggest Cause For Lumps Inside Cheek

I have found a round, dark purple lump on the inside of my cheek. I have had canker sores before but this is completely different. I did not notice it a few hours ago. There is also a tiny discoloration just below it. What could it be? I have made an appointment with my dermatologist for tomorrow.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of lumps inside cheek which could be haematoma formation which might get fibrosed and cyst formation due to dental infection. You should take proper course of antibiotic. Apply hot fermentation. You should take Motrin 1 tablet with food as well. It can be possible that lump will go away only with medicine without surgery. If condition persist even after completing antibiotic course then again visit dentist or oral surgeon for proper evaluation. Maintain proper oral hygiene. Avoid taking hot, sharp and spicy food substances.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
