Do we (humans) have any kind of taste buds or any kind of glands on the inside of our cheeks? Cuz i can feel a little tiny bump on my cheek towards the corner of my mouth(from the inside) and it happened after i ate some birthday cake, which has a bunch of sugar. so i thought it could be a irritated gland or something from the cake?

it is an iritation. only place with tastebuds is your tongue. it also could be that you bit the inside of your cheek. that happens to me all the time.

JUSTIN,
YOUR CHEEKS HAVE AN OPENING OF THE PAROTID GLAND BUT THIS IS IN THE UPPER MOLAR REGION. THERE ARE NO GLANDS ON THE LIPS.
THIS INDEED MAY BE A SMALL IRRITATION.
