Very small raised dots inside cheek
I recently noticed a small (slightly larger than pencil-eraser-sized) cluster of 20 or so pinprick-sized raised light dots on the inside of my cheek, about 2cm to the inside of the cheek (near where the cheek makes contact with the first molar).
The effect of this cluster creates a 'rougher' feeling spot on the cheek. There is no pain or increased sensitivity, and I noticed it about a week ago.
I know abnormalities should be checked out by a dentist, but figured I would ask here first,

What you have mentioned seem to be Fordyce Granules. They represent a natural occurrence in the body and do not represent any disease or illness. They are actually sebaceous glands. They do not require any treatment. You can look up a few photos online and check whether they resemble the spots that you have.

In case of doubt or if you need further confirmation, see a dentist.
