Yes, I've had maybe 3 over the last 10 years. Mine was more blister like and round. Noticable as something new, but would always go within weeks of feeling it. I happened to have one when I saw the dentist one time about something different.
Dentist did a test with a special light which seemed a lot of extra cash at the time. I had to go through a load of questions- alcohol intake, lifestyle, smoking history etc. He then referred me to a specialist at the hospital. It took maybe 4mths to see the specialist. The actual blister thing had completely disapeared about 2 weeks after I found it, and the specialist rolled his eyes and basically blamed dentists for sending wrong referrals to him all day!!!!
OP- it could be a blocked salivary gland. Are you considered high risk for anything sinister? Older age, long term smoker or drinker? Have you had similar before? I find it really difficult to ignore any issue in my mouth. My tongue seems to creep towards the issue without me noticing and its such a nuisance. (burnt roof of mouth, rough tooth, ulcer etc).
Hopefully its something simple that goes very soon x
Wouldn't have thought it was anything to worry about, but if you are concerned / it doesn't go, it's dentist not GP you need to see as dentist is mouth expert. It's probably just a blocked gland and will just go. Hope it's gone soon.
I had exactly this Christmas day. It went down overnight and appeared again Boxing day. Went down again and hasn't come back since. I also wondered if it had been there all the time but I'm sure it wasn't. Wait and see op it may just disappear.
