Small lump in roof of mouth
 Login/Join 
Posted
I have a small lump in the roof of my mouth, directly in the center. It feels exactly like a sore throat when I swallow, just in a different area. It's not really sore to the touch, but if I touch it just right it feels the same way it does when I swallow.

When I google, everything I get has to do with Mouth Cancer. Is this a possibility?

Ive never so much as tried a cigarette, I rarely drink and when I do I never even get drunk (not even once a month)

To my knowledge I have no history of Oral Cancer, and this is not in a place where my teeth could touch it. (I do have some bad teeth.) I do not have HPV (not to my knowledge anyway. Ive been tested twice in the last 4 months and my partner doesnt have it either)

I just noticed it a few hours ago. What could it be? Thank you Smiler

Hello beautifullyhaunted Yikes

How's the lump? It probably isn't a mouth cancer - it would be too early to worry about that.

Let us know how you get on.

Best wishes
