Sore in mouth: Most sores in the mouth heal in a few days and are harmless. You should seek medical attention if the problem becomes widespread, or keeps recurring.

i had a spot of my cheek and i kept picking it the scab. now its turned into a really hard white bubble type scab. it wont seem to go. im trying my hardest not to pick it. i did a couple of times but the hard white bubble scab came back. will it go?

Accepted Answer

DERMATOLOGIST: Please consult with a Dermatologist who can diagnose and treat this skin problem.

Question 3

what causes a blood filled bubble inside the cheek in my mouth?

Accepted Answer

Cheek bite: Do you remember biting your cheek?  A cheek bite can cause this and this will heal in a few days.  If you did not bite your cheek, have lots of pain, or it does not heal quickly then you shoud see a dentist for an exam and find out what this is.

Question 4

i bit my cheek about 4 days ago. i could feel with my tongue the bit tissue. it has turned into a 'bubble-like' thing with pus.  what can i do?

Accepted Answer

Oral infection: May require I and D or antibiotics. A local Dentist or your PCP will be helpful.

Question 5

i have this bubble around my cheek piercing and i want to know how to get rid of without taking my piercings out? please help . i also do hot compress

Accepted Answer

Saline compresses: It may also need to have an I&D (incision and drainage) if it's infected.

Question 6

for about two years i've had this black bubble inside my right cheek close to my jaw line. it swells up and down thorughout the day. its even sometimes painful but not extreme.could it be cancer? if not then what?

Accepted Answer

Blood cyst?: These little blood cysts / blood blisters / blood-and-mucus cysts are common nuisances. Your dentist will recognize what this is and know how to treat it.

Question 7

i have 1 dark red bubble inside my mouth, cheek. no pain and i gave head 2 days before this appeared. what is it?

Accepted Answer

Dark Red Bubble: Not exactly a medical term, but it might be a lesion related to biting your cheek. If it does not resolve on its own within two weeks, seek the help of an oral surgeon to determine exactly what it is.

Question 8

what is this air pocket/bubble inside my mouth on gums/cheek?

Accepted Answer

Need a photo: Without a photo or more accurate description that shows the area and size of the "air pocket" it is impossible to tell. See your dentist for an evaluation.

Question 9

what is it? it's a bubble inside my mouth that has a spot of white with clear fluid surrounding it. it's on my upper cheek and i'm concerned

Accepted Answer

How long?: Are you certain that this hasn't always been in your mouth. It may be the duct to your parotid salivary gland in your cheek. It normally sits on the cheek next to the first molar. If so, it is normal anatomy, however I have had many patients "discovery" it. If it is new, is it possible that you recently bit your cheek? Sometimes sores in the mouth have a white coating on top.

Question 10

i have a pea size bump that looks like a pink bubble on the curve of my butt cheek. it causes mild pain when underwear rubs against it. help.

Accepted Answer

Bump on buttocks: May be a folliculitis ,(pimple). Could try bacitracin, but it not better in 1 day need to  have it looked at and possibly drained.  may  need systemic antibiotics. F/u with doc
