i have the same type of thing, its around the size of marble in my cheek. sometimes when im sick it gets a little bigger and sore. i went to the doc + dentist and had x rays and things, but they couldnt figure out what it is, the dentist said its most likely a saliva gland.

However, if it is really big, then I would go to a doctor or go anywhere even if it's small. You can never be too careful.

My brother's is totally noticeable though.

I had exactly the same thing. Mine was slightly lower down.

The doctor said it was that (a cyst). I had it removed by a plastic surgeon (he did it for free and I only had to pay like £80 for theatre , but if you have to pay in full its not going to be that much).

Definitely go to the doctor. More often than not they're cysts but then thats what doctors are there for - to look at stuff you're not sure about and sort it out.
