It seems to be a normal finding but you probably have not felt it before. If you think it is new, watch it for a couple days and do not worry much. If by time, it get bigger you can see a doctor by then.

THIS IS CALLED A PALATAL TUBEROSITY AND IS NORMAL IN MANY PEOPLE.SOME ARE VERY LARGE AND HAVE TO BE REMOVED DUE TO DISCOMFORT.IT IS A BONY GROWTH THAT IS NOT HARMFUL. YOU CAN ALSO HAVE THESE BONY GROWTHS ON THE LOWER ARCH ON THE INSIDE OF YOUR MOUTH ALSO TO BE REMOVED IF UNCOMFORTABLE OR A DENTURE NEEDS TO BE MADE OVER IT.
