Googled :(

I know I shouldn't have googled but I did :(

I have this 'lump' in my cheek that I can feel, can feel something in the other cheek but not as prominent as the other.

The lump is soft and moveable and when I open my mouth wide it looks like a dome shape!

Stupid stupid me googled and came across parotid/salivary cancer and now I have scared myself witless!

I was wondering if anyone else can feel their glands in their cheeks or if it's possible to be feeling them?!

Is it dark red? I have lots of bumps in my cheeks and sometimes get a perfect dome shaped dark red blood blister.

Hi Wubu

There is no colour change at all, just the soft squishy lump I can feel when I touch my cheek. It feels pretty deep in the cheek tissue. I have had it for a while now too, atleast a year and it hasn't dispersed.

It could have been from trauma like biting your cheek in your sleep, in fact I've got this skin flap thing quite far up in my cheek.

Could well be from trauma, I'm wearing a brace at the moment, I'm trying to be logical and I won't be googling again!

I have the same thing in my cheek. It's much more prominent on my right cheek than the left. I'm pretty sure it's normal, definitely stay off google:)

I have loads in my cheeks. Caused by chewing the insides of my mouth and nightly teeth grinding due to, you guessed it, anxiety.

Thanks everyone, I'm much calmer today. Promised myself no more googling :p
