lumps in my mouth

[napichan]

Hi about 2 weeks ago I found a very tiny lump on my gum (tongue side) close to the back of my mouth and it hurts a little bit if i press it and i can kinda move it about. then a week ago i found another, much bigger lump behind my bottom front teeth and my gums near it feel a bit swollen :( and THEN two days ago i found another tiny lump right next to the second lump!

im so scared i have no idea what it could be except for cancer which doesnt seem right as im only 17 years old and im worried about going to the doctors as they might think im silly or not take me seriously. my boyfriend said it could be an infection but i dont know, does anyone know what this is?

thank you, sorry if ive written too much xx

nah i dont have any other symptoms at all, my throat is just fine. i always search the internet when i find something wrong with me, even though i know no good will come of it, i just end up becoming more anxious but i just get really tempted! xxxx
