Go to your family doctor first. That doctor can refer you to a specialist if needed. An x-ray at a denist won't help diagnose this lump because an x-ray will not show most soft tissue...only bone and teeth. But, many times, when I do an ultrasound of the type of lump you are describing located near the jaw bone, it turns out to be a lymph node. Lymph nodes can enlarge when they are fighting some type of infection. But any change in the body needs to be checked out by a medical professional.

likely a spider bit you once you've been slumbering, because at the same time as spider's chew it leaves a small tender lump too. the lump is like the dimensions of one / 4 yet no longer a top of one / 4. properly that is all i recognize that promises lumps. i change into purely taking a biggg wager because my chum had a lump too despite the indisputable fact that it change into on his arm. yet you ought to easily bypass see your customary well-being practitioner to envision on it.

probably a spider bit you when you were sleeping, because when spider's bite it leaves a small tender lump too. the lump is like the size of a quarter but not a height of a quarter. Well that's all i know that gives lumps. i was just taking a biggg guess because my friend had a lump too but it was on his arm. But you should just go see your regular doctor to check on it.

Go to either your normal doctor or to a dermatologist hun.
It could possibly be a cyst. (Which isn't anything to fret over healthwise/medically.....)
