Small red spot and lump in mouth.
Hi there is a red spot inside the moth and I feel a small bump when I rub me fingers on it. It is there from past week. Is it anything serious do I have to visit a doctor or will it heal on its own.

Hello,
There is nothing to worry about, it’s a simple cheek bite.
If it’s painful then apply dologel twice in a day and warm saline gargle three times a day!

Attached picture show normal structure. It seems like you have accidentally bite on your cheek. Nothing to worry about it.
It will be resolved within few days. Warm saline water rinses two to three times a day, apply Dologel two times a day, over it.
If it doesn't heal within a week then consult doctor online or offline for better guidance and treatment options.

Hello, hope you are doing well.
The area of bump is actually parotid papilla which is the opening from where saliva from your parotid gland enters into your mouth. Usually that can be felt as a bump always. Your picture is suggesting that you might have had a cheek bite over that area due to which that redness is there. There is nothing to worry Just warm water rinse with a pinch of salt 3-4 times a day will take care of it.
