Hello,
I am looking for a bit of advice and perhaps perspective please. I know little about oral anatomy. I have a 4mm hard/firm lump on the location marked by the circle. Is this the hard or soft palate , or the junction between the two? Is this where small salivary glands are?
It looks like nothing on a photo but is palpable, like a small hard pea. The skin covering it is totally healthy. There is a small pink mark but I think this is from my rubbing it.
I noticed it on Wednesday when I yawned and felt a slight localised pulling sensation (no pain) and put my finger in my mouth to feel where the pulling feeling was. There is no pain at all. Not even when pressing it hard.
It doesn’t have a blistery, fluid filled sack on it like the pictures of “mucoleles” I can find online.
Do I need to go a see someone and if so would it be Gp or dentist (nothing wrong with my teeth at all). How long should I leave it before seeing someone?
please don’t reply saying “Why are you posting on mumsnet, nobody can diagnose you on here” - I know that. Also I know that the photo doesn’t really show anything so please don’t comment saying there is nothing there - there is a small hard lump
