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

yeh lol if you type in anything to do with lumps in google it just comes up with cancer! and then its like aaaah! once i was having chest pains, i looked it up on google and it led me to belive i was having a heart attack and i didnt sleep at all that night lol i laugh wen i think about it now but i was so scared. ive always been an anxious person but its gotten alot worse because of the stress of doing A-levels xxx
