Fluid filled swelling on cheek wall
Namaste Doctor,
I am 23 years old. My concern is whenever I eat something much spicy and chilly, On the right side inner cheek wall, I notice a small bump filled with fluid. It goes away after a few minutes of eating like that. I have been noticing it for months I can't recall it properly. It doesn't even cause pain.
I don't do smoking or alcohol consumption. Please take a look and advise me. I am a little bit worried.
I have attached pictures of that area(one picture after eating chilly spicy food immediately and another one is after 5min where it's slightly small).

Hi there,
There is nothing to worry .This is nothing but a 'Mucocele' which is a collection of saliva in the connecting pipes of a salivary gland . The increase in size with food chewing and the colour of the swelling explains the lesion...
The only thing to be concerned is the recurrence rate of this lesion which is quite high...
You have multiple treatment options like laser, conventional surgery, cryotherapy etc...
