I have this cyst-like thing , about the size of a small marble or large pea on the inside of my cheek . It s not hard...it s very flexible, but it has these small white spots, almost like tiny blisters that have formed recently on the cyst. I saw my dentist yesterday, and he wants me to see an oral surgeon to have it removed or to do a biopsy done on it because it has changed from a normal reddish skin color to a discolored color. Could it be cancer?
Hello, The cyst mass arose inside the cheek May be due to-chronic cheek biting habit, pericoronitis due to impacted wisdom tooth, oral habits like tobacco or pan chewing. As your dentist suggested, based on biopsy report treatment can be planned. Meanwhile, maintain oral hygiene well. Apply McCoppin gel on the affected area. Swish with lukewarm saline or chlorhexidine mouth rinses. Maintain oral hygiene well. Avoid intake of spicy foods. Discontinue the habit of tobacco or pan chewing. Hope this helps.
