CHC: No idea what CHC stands for. Lump: See your General Physician to determine the cause, and thus the appropriate treatment. See your General Dentist to determine if intra-oral lesions are truly aphthous ulcers or something else entirely. Your practitioners have spent thousands of hours in training. Take advantage of their expertise.
