The small painless lump you may actually be normal anatomy, because this is the location that your parotid duct opens into your mouth. Because of your concern for cancer you should really how this evaluated.

Need exam: Although it is not very common but not only it can happen, the incidence of hpv associated oral cancer in young population is on the rise. Go to see your doctor and get it checked. If that looks suspicious you prob need to see oral surgeon and get it biopsied etc.
