Swelled nerve, mandible/jaw/inner cheek
In my right inner cheek i found in the very lower part there's a kind of bulging nerve, itches slightly when pressed, why is it happening? Also in my right lower mandible i found there i get soreness sometime on the nerve present there.. why is it happening? Is it any AVM? Area for inner cheek marked in yellow colour circle and for mandible area marked in purple/red where the pain/soreness occurs on the nerve. The inner cheek nerve that i talked about is only found in right side, in left side I searched couldn't find that bulging as it is in right. When seen in photo it's not visible when touched it feels bulging. Please help me. I touched that pink circle area more and seems it became more sore so m avoiding touching that area, but why is it happening, please help..

From your description it seems like a masticatory muscle spasm. Generally heals by itself if you give it rest. For few days:- Take soft diet. Don't chew anything hard. Don't press on the site to check for pain. While yawning try to support your lower jaw with your palm to avoid stretching of the muscle.
Next Steps
If there is no change in a week please consult your dentist for further investigation to rule out any jaw joint problem, nerve issues or any unusual swelling/ growth.
Health Tips
warm saline rinse thrice daily.

Please get your CBCT scan done to rule out any bony pathology. According to your symptoms, it's more likely muscular in origin. Please get examined by oral medicine specialist nearby.
