Okay so i have these two tic tac size bumps in the inside of my cheeks. One is on the right and the other is on the left almost in the same spot. They have been there for a very long time a 5-6 months. They don’t hurt and don’t seem to be getting any bigger. What could it be?
it could be a lot of things, possibly you bit your cheek. if they are about the same size and in the exact same spot on either side, that would probably be one set of your salivary glands( the ones in your cheeks are called the parotid glands). and funny, you’re right, those are about the size of tic tacs. i used to wonder what that was to until i learned about them in school.
