I have noticed that i have a lump on the bottom right side, inside my mouth.

it has been there for about a month. i am only 16 years of age and was wondering what it could be.

i do not smoke or drink. Also the bump does not hurt when fiddled around with.

Please could somebody let me know, i am worried.
Thanks

Hi Nelly,

I would suggest you go and see your doctor about this because it might just be something small. Don't worry too much and please let us know. If you do need some one to chat to, my e-mail address is shelleynunn@gmail.com

There's something in a simple hug
That always warms the heart;
It welcomes us back home
And makes it easier to part.

A hug's a way to share the joy
And sad times we go through.
Or just a way for friends to say
They like you cause you're you.

Hugs are meant for anyone.
For whom we really care,
From your grandma to your neighbor,
Or a cuddly teddy bear.

A hug is an amazing thing -
It's just the perfect way
To show the love we're feeling
But can't find the words to say.

It's funny how a little hug
Makes everyone feel good;
In every place and language,
It's always understood.

And hugs don't need new equipment,
Special batteries or parts -
Just open up your arms
And open up your hearts.

Shelley

Hi Nelly

Shelley gave you the right advice. If you find something in your mouth you notice and are concerned about, it is always best to see you dentist or doctor for an opinion. It is often not a cancer but it is always best to be calmly vigilant. So what did you doctor think your lump was?

Best wishes
