A member asked:

I have a small red lump that is uncomfortable to touch, but not painful, on my palate just behind the two front teeth. should i be concerned?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Doctor/Dentist: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without taking additional history, and physical examination. However, it does not appear to be an urgent issue and you may consult your dentist or doctor, next time you see one.
