A member asked:
I have a muscle on the right side of my face that is bigger, cancer?

Hard to say: Not sure if you are referring to your muscle or the parotid gland, which is below the muscles of your cheek. This may be an infection and not a cancer, but either way, this should be seen a doctor to be properly evaluated.
