Good Morning scardkid,
There are a number of reasons for a lump appearing in the mouth, some of which are easily dealt with others which require more determined treatment.It is not possible to offer suggestions as to what your lump might be based on the sketchy details provided. Two things are certain:-
First and foremost you need professional advice to determine the nature of the lump so see your doctor. NOW! dont wait a week because that will become two weeks then a month etc. and delay often turns something minor into something major, if you are concerned about it see your doctor and get it diagnosed and treated.
Secondly, 85% of mouth cancer patients are tobacco users, do you get the message? it is QUIT NOW!
Let us know how you get on.... and start the new year as someone who quit dipping three days ago.
Keep Smiling
John
