Abcess? lump on lower jaw corner?

Hard to tell: It depends on your symptoms. Do you have a fever, pain, redness then maybe an abscess. If those symptoms don't exist then potentially a lymph node or other mass. You should see your doctor to better evaluate.

Exam: You need an evaluation to determine what the lump is. See an oral surgeon or ENT doc.
