white bump on inside of mouth Posted: 05-02-08 13:09pm
Hi. I have a small white bump on the
inside of my mouth, lower right side, on
the exact same spot that I used to chew
tobacco. I chewed for about a year. The
bump is slightly raised. The white part
makes it appear puss filled, but that's
not the case.
It seems to operate in a two week cycle.
It starts out as an almost undetectable
mark, grows just a bit and become more
raised off the inside of my mouth, and
becomes more white in appearance.
Eventually it flakes off, appears to be
gone, but the cycle repeats. I'm
abstaining from alcohol and tobacco now to
see if goes away for good but I have my
doubts (about it going away, not about my
promise to abstain from these vices).
The area surrounding it appears red/white
splotchy, doesn't match the side of my
mouth where I didn't chew, which appears
pink and smooth. Not real bad, but a
subtle difference in coloration.
