What Causes Hard Ball Like Lump In The Jaw Line?

I have this ball like thing in my right cheek near my jawline that can be moved around but it doesn t hurt unless I push it really hard. I ve had it for years but I never thought anything of it. Lately my jaws has been cracking a lot. What can this be? Should I have my doctor check it out?

General Surgeon 's  Response
Hi.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.
Not only should you get this checked but also you should request your Doctor for a referral for a surgeon to get this excised.
Why would you wait for this to become big and then cause more problems at a later date.
I find this answer helpful
