Hello Poppy

Not cancer, I would think!

After biting your cheek you have some traumatised tissue. Badly bitten, it will look/feel lumpy and taggy. Keep the area clean by rinsing with warm salt water while trying to avoid chewing on it. If it is sore, apply some 'numbing gel' like Bonjela before a meal (avoid acidic/spicy food and drink). It should all heal in about three weeks. Let us know how you get on.

Thinking Caveat: If it doesn't, or appears to get bigger, see you doctor or dentist pronto!

Best wishes
