Needs to be checked: With your history of small cell cancer in remission, there are several possibilities, which may or may not be related to your cancer.

Prob unrelated: It would be very uncommon to have sclc spread to the cheek, especially if it hurts. If it doesn't resolve on its own as you would expect (the inside of your mouth heals faster than any other place in your body), make an appointment with your oncologist to be examined.
