A member asked:

Soft flucuant bump on hard palate, mucosa colored no bleeding. gets smaller and flat when pushed with tongue.gets bigger when released. had it 5years.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Lesion on palate: Guess it's safe to say it won't self cure. Any oral lesion present for longer than 2 weeks demands immediate evaluation. You're overdue. As you have had the lesion for 5+ years, I must assume that you are not receiving regular dental care. Please schedule an appointment immediately.
