A member asked:
Large hard lump in my right cheek, under skin between my cheekbone, nose and mouth it is 2.5cm by. 1.5cm and it has been there for about 5 days?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Get it checked: A large hard bump is suggestive of an abscess from an upper tooth. Confirmation is done with the biomarker l-homocysteine which measures the presence of infection. The constituents of the infection can be identified and if the tooth in question possesses the same pathogens as the lump in the cheek, then one can confirm that the tooth infection is the etiologic cause for the the bump.
