Hi. I'm a 28-year-old male who has chewed tobacco for about six years (on and off). Recently, while suffering through a spurt of wisdom tooth growth that agravated the back of my gums, my right jawline became tender. Moreover, and more shocking, when I opened my mouth wide to look at the wisdom tooth, I noticed that a small, pea-sized ball jumps on top of the jawline on the same right side. The location is about halfway between the ear and the front of the chin. I can't really feel it when I don't open my mouth, but it really does just jump up on top of my jawline when I do open wide. It is hard and I can move it around a bit. What do you think?

Thanks,
Brute

Good Afternoon Brute,
You really need to get this checked out,It may well be something very minor,and I hope it is, but you can't afford to take the risk so see your dentist as soon as you can.Don't wait to see how things progress and don't let wishfull thinking convince you that it is getting smaller.good luck mister.
Keep Smiling
John
