Hello, I am 17 years old and just 2 days ago i discovered there was a lump on my hard palate. It doesnt hurd when i touch it but when i give it a pressure with my finger it hurts a little. I am afraid it might be a cancer and i am so depressed because i never experienced such thing. I am now in a foreign country and most likely going to stay for 4 months so i cant go to the dentist. I asked my parents about it but they said that a thing like this usually occurs but goes away after 1 or 2 days. But its not disseapering. Can someone please tell me whats going on? Could it be a mouth cancer??

Good Morning Zack,
your parents are right these things will usually clear up after a few days. Decision time is three weeks if the problem has not cleared in that time you do need to see a doctor or dentist.Oral cancer in your age group is unusual (but not unknown)it is,however, something you can't afford to take chances with so if it has not cleared in three weeks seek professional advice.
In the meantime don't poke the lump you will probably make it worse.
Keep smiling
John

Thank you very much. But I cant go to the dentist in here.. If it doesnt disappear i have to hold it. =.=

Hi Zack, there must be a way you can see a dentist if the problem doesn't go away. Someone here will probably know how to go about it but dont take chances if it doesn't sort itself out. All the best, Hagg.

Thanks Hagg i think i injured or cut my Palate. so it occured..thats what i guess
