I have just noticed a small lump on the outside of my upper left cheek bone, what do I do?


Today I noticed a small lump form on the left side of my cheek bone. I had my wisdom teeth pulled about 3 months ago and have really not had any sort of problems. The lump occurs about where the top left wisdom tooth was pulled but it is only on the outside of my cheek. I can kind of move it around and I do not feel any pain when touching or doing this to it. From other stories I have read it seems it is either from biting my inner cheek or an abscessed tooth. I do not think it is any kind of pimple or acne. I am pretty worried because the staph infection is also going around and that could be another thing. I do not know what to do any information will help me.

Thanks

GET IT CHECKED. NOW. If its not taph, its cancer developing. go to your doctor and make sure itsnothing serious.

It could be as simple as a little piece of the root or tooth still in there. But get it checked as soon as possible, the dentist can tell a lot by looking in your mouth. Never ignore something like this. Good Luck!
