What Causes Sore Upper Cheek With A Small Flap Of Skin?
A few days ago I noticed a small flap of skin on the inner, right side of my cheek beside my teeth. I don't know what it is I tried to remove it myself, which did notice but cause my upper cheek to be sore, and it appears to heal back after I did... Can someone shine some light on this for me?

Hi,
From history it seems that you might be having tooth bite in your buccal mucosa while eating or talking producing soreness and flap.
Trying to remove that flap now some infection produced.
Do antiseptic lotion gargles.
If require go for one short antibiotic medicine course for 3 days.
Ok and take care.
