Oral surgeon: Are you sure that it's not torus palatinus which is harmless? An oral surgeon or an otolaryngologist are best qualified to advise you.

Save yourself: Save yourself all the anxiety and worry that drove you to reach out for help. Without examination there is no way to examine you and diagnose the cause of your bump, let alone treat it (if required). Please see your Dentist or a specialist Oral Surgeon for an examination. Probability is your problem is either benign or relatively easily treatable. Please seek professional care.
