Bulging nerve in right inner cheeck
I feel a nerve/blood vessel is swelled(not visible if cheek is inspected with naked eye) in the inner cheek. But when i touch that with finger and palpate that or touch with tongue too, it feels theres a prominent nerve/vein.. also i have redness and rough surface(feels sour to taste) over the inner cheek when i drew line. Please help me why is it happening...mainly why is there a bulged nerve :(. M worried! Is this any infection? Or is it something else?
Also on the outside where i curved the white line near mandible body/jawline, i palpate that and feels that nerve has went from there, i checked with a local gp to check for lymph nodes he checked and all came fine.
Note:
I don't smoke, drink or eat tobacco.
My upper wisdom tooth is coming up on that side.
I have buccal mucosa trauma due to sharp cusps maybe.

Don't panic.
From the given history it seems that, you have pain with the erupting wisdom tooth of upper jaw which might be because causing cheek bite & associated trauma.
Next Steps
visit dentist for further clinical examination & treatment accordingly
Health Tips
nerves & vessels of cheek are inside the thick pad of buccalmucosa & not superficial & palpable, so don't worry about it.

If ur nerve or vein is bulged there will be pain ....dont worry it is ur mucosa swelling inside most probably when skin is trapped between the erupting wisdom teeth..so get ur wisdom teeth extracted ...that can solve your issue...
