I worry about stuff all the time......especially when I find things on myself....the lastest thing I've found is this bump on my jaw. I feel it from the outside of my mouth..feels like a bulge. Can you feel your teeth structures and roots from the outside of your mouth (on your face where your skin is)??? Its been there for at least 6 months.....Doesn't hurt!!

Feels like it could be a cyst or liponma. Doesn't hurt when I touch it. Never even knew it was there til I went looking for things on my body.

Yeah I do too. I worry about dirt sometimes....
It sounds like you have a infected tooth or a tooth that is getting really to get infected. Go to the dentist. They will give you meds to make the knot go away and then find out what is wrong with the tooth. That isn't anything to worry about. It has happened to many of us before. Just try not to worry all the time. It will make you sick. Then too you spend years worrying and guess what. You end up worrying about nothing and all the stuff you worried about turns out never to happen anyways...

Im the same way, been for years, worry about everything, mine is caused from post traumatic stress disorder..but there are several bumps on your jaw you can feel, under the jaw bone, there are pea sized glands that might sometimes hurt, in your chin area, where you teeth are, depending on the shape of your teeth, and your face, you may be able to feel them. or it could be a ton of other things, if deep down inside this is something your really worried about, go get it checked out...

Depending on how hard you press, you should be able to feel your teeth and gum. Is the bump visible? If not, you're probably just overreacting, but if you feel any pains in the future, don't hesitate to speak with your physician.

I found a lump on my jaw when I was a kid and I have had it all my life. Its not visible either. It never grew or went away. I wouldn't panic but next time you go to your md have him checkit out

You can not change one thing what ever is going to be is going to be. And if it is going to be something then you can worry. Mean time focus on something else. Once you mind is off of it, it will not seem as bad, and will probable go away.

People do what they do because they feel they get some benefit from doing it. Suggest you ask yourself, how you benefit, or think you benefit from worrying about everything.

It's called hypochondria. Talk to your dr.
