Infection ?: From what you describe, the fact that the lump moves and is painful, indicates the problem is probably an infection. Malignant or cancerous lumps most often are fixed and don't move, but your condition is not normal and you need to see a dental or medical professional to establish a diagnosis and course of treatment. Don't delay, as an infection can be deadly!

Lymph node: Likely a lymph node that is enlarged. The other possibility is a salivary gland that is prominent. These are almost always benign at your age and don't require further evaluation unless they persist, or change in some way.
