Ok so, a week or so ago I was feeling around my mouth and found a small white bump on the inside of my left cheek, the next day I accidentally figured out that I could scrape it out with my finger nail but it still bothered me that I did t know what it was. I spent hours on the Internet and nothing really fit what I think I had. Today I found three small white dots in the same spot and scraped them out, even tho I'm pretty sure that's not going to help. There is absolutely no pain associated with these bumps and I haven't experienced any other pain in or around my mouth. I'm worried that this might be early signs of what I hope it is not. After further investigation of my mouth I also found a painless red bump near the top of my right cheek. If anyone has ever experienced this or has heard of anything that it could be, please let me know, my anxiety is reaching a scary point. frown

Go get a referral to an ENT. Better to check it out and breath a sigh of relief than not and spend uneccesaary time worrying. Take care
Ok frown

I know it's worrisome, but hopefully it's nothing. Definitely don't pick at it you're just leaving yourself open to infection. Chances are your worry is for nothing but you'll never know a make sur you see an ENT who deals with oral cancer - and don't be assuaged until you know for sure what it is. Take care!
