Needs eval/imaging: It is important to know whether what you are noticing is truly bone or something else that might be enlarging such as a fluid-filled cyst or infected abscess. You need to be evaluated by a health care provider, and imaging/x-ray obtained. This is not anything you can control yourself by doing anything good luck!
