Small Movable Bump Under Skin On Floor Of Mouth

I feel it when i run my tongue over it.

Small movable bump under skin on floor of mouth. With my tongue i ve noticed that i have a smalish around 3 5mm round lump inside the floor of my mouth under the gums. Actually it is on the ligament that stretches from the back of the tongue to the floor of the mouth. Hello it s me again biding my time until i go to the dentist for check up. It s completely under the skin of the floor of the mouth near that gland ridge and i can almost take it with two of my fingers fingers.

There are two. A mucocele is a small painless blister like lesion that occurs on the inner lips or floor of the mouth. Dr i went to an endodontist for a root canal and while their asked him to look at this tiny little bump on the floor of my mouth. Cancer of the floor of mouth accounts for 28 35 percent of all mouth cancers.

Finding any kind of bump can be a cause for alarm. Generally the underlying causes of bumps lumps or pimples in the mouth are infections allergic reactions digestive problems some kind of injury or stress. The moveable lumps are not on the mouth cheeks but on the lower part of my mouth one is about pea size and very smooth and seems to get smaller in the mornings when i wake up and the others on the other side of the lower part of my mouth and on my tongue are very small and they all roll around on my fingers. The floor of mouth is a horseshoe shaped area under the tongue between the sides of the lower jawbone the mandible.

The damage is often caused by braces lip biting or other injury to the mucosal surface. The most significant risk factors for floor of mouth cancer are tobacco and alcohol use. The blister is usually filled with clear fluid and is caused by damage to the inner wetter skin of the lip or mouth mucosal surface. In some cases a bump in mouth can start out small and white but then become bigger and look like a pimple.

It seems i ve found another reason to worry my head. An oral mucous cyst also called a mucocele is a harmless swollen spot it s a good idea to get it checked out though especially if it s bothersome.
