Hello Sir. I understand your concern. And I’m glad you have stopped the habit of pan chewing. However the oral mucosa( inner cheeks) seems quite healthy however i can notice slight reddishness around upper teeth . This might be due to various reasons either sharp edges of teeth are getting often rubbed by cheek , or eating something very hot or spicy food . As of now it does not look like anything close to cancer. But clinical correlation is mandatory, as per your given history of habit.

Based on the history and photographs provided, it is not possible to make a definitive diagnosis online. The bump may be related to a local infection or a sharp tooth Since it has become more prominent and painful, a clinical oral examination is recommended for proper evaluation.

Hello Looks like it is due to sharp tooth but always get it evaluated because you had the habit

Hello, It seems that area affected is due to sharp cups of molars  of upper jaw causing traumatic cheek bite  and  needs smoothening by dentist along with  medication. No need to worry about it.please visit dentist for the same.

Hello, I understand your fear and it's good that you stopped pan masala. That's a very positive step. From your description - pinkish bump with red dot, painful after balloon exercise, history of pan masala - there are a few possibilities: 1. Traumatic ulcer / Fibroma: Constant cheek bite or irritation can cause a bump. Balloon exercise puts pressure, so pain increased. 2. Salivary gland issue: Sometimes a blocked minor salivary gland looks like a bump with a small opening. 3. Pre-cancerous lesion: Pan masala use is a risk factor. Any long-standing bump in cheek needs checking.
