Abscess/lump under cheek skin

2023-01-23 10:00:29
Hi, I have lump type formation (something like gaanth) under right cheek skin. Cannot see or feel it from inside the mouth. But when I touch my cheek from outside, I feel something under my skin and it's very slightly swollen as well. Also, it's not tender to touch. What it could be? What should I do next? Please suggest.
