Any clue what this is in my mouth? Should I see dr or dentist or neither?!

[ritathecheetah]

This white lump has developed on my gum, it has a head and is oozing a bit (sorry tmi). Any idea what it is, if it’s something to worry about or who i should see? thanks.

Looks like a gumboil

Could be an abscess? I’d see dr first as it’s free triage

Looks like an abscess. Get thee to a dentist pronto as the infection can spread.

Gumboil, abscess or blocked saliva gland?
See dentist asap if you have one or emergency dental service (via 111) at local hospital.
Best not to ignore it.

If it’s oozing it’s probably an abscess and you should see a dentist asap.

Dentist.

Looks like an abscess - does it not hurt?!

Always a dentist for anything in the mouth. And yes, it looks like an abscess. Needs treating asap as infections in any part of your head can be dangerous if left and allowed to spread.

Thanks all. Will seek medical advice tomorrow then…
