Do not Panic: It could be an abscess. Need more information. How old are you? How long have had this? Is this growing in size? Only one single? No other movable lump? Do you have Dental problem? See your Doctor. You find relief with correct diagnosis. and Rx. We cannot help you.

YaGottaTakeYourLumps: Calm down!!We all get lumps.Most of them go away and that's that.The worst you can do is fiddle with it all the time.Get a mental picture of it then leave it alone for a week,repeat if same,etc.With increasing size, tenderness, consistency,etc it will need examination. Also if it lasts a long time say,3 months).There's a lot to it, but most of the time it's minor, assuming you're healthy otherwise
