For a couple days now Ive kept getting the feeling like I had been punched in the face in my right cheek. Its not in my gums high up, its more outer than that. Its right under where my cheekbone lies..and if I feel around and compare it to my other cheek - theres a tender hard lump. You cant see it though...I can just feel it sometimes when I open my mouth. And no, its not a boil either, its waayy under my skin, but not far enough to hit my teeth. AND its further behind my sinus as well, its not that either. It lines up perfectly with the middle of my ear.

Any idea what this is?

Quick, take a picture of it for your next school assignment before it disappears

no, but that sounds scary. go to the doctor??

My brother has the same thing!

Well, it sounds like the same thing. He had a small lump in his cheek, right under the collarbone. He went to the dermatologist and she said it is just a cyst, kind of like a pimple wayyyyyy down there. It goes away on it's own I believe.

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.

Chances are its a cyst, a fatty deposit or (less likely) scar tissue.

I don't want to say gigantiform cementoma, but ...


In any case, you'll probably want to get it checked out. If it's sore they might be able to remove it.
