I have a small lump in my cheek!
right along my jaw!
It's been there for years and has not hurt til now and I think it's getting bigger!
What sould I do?
I have a feeling it may just feel bigger because I'm getting a wisdom tooth in and I keep biting the inside of my mouth! where it is!

No! It's not that kind of lump!
It's like under my skin! And I can feel it move!
I know it sounds gross but I used to play with it when I was little!
And I'm scared to go to the docter! Because I don't want them to give be a bunch of medicines!
Like I'd rather die not knowing I had cancer!
But I don't want to do that to my family!

If it's been there for years, its probably just a benign cyst.
I have a couple odd lumps as well, one under my ribcage and one on my left testicle. They've both been there for years and haven't changed shape. When I checked with my doctor, she informed me that if they haven't changed shape and they've been there for awhile, they're most likely harmless.

Most lumps are not cancer. Enlarged lymph nodes and cysts are common along the jaw. Cysts don't usually hurt. Lymph nodes sometimes swell and hurt when there is an infection. Its possible you have an impacted wisdom tooth that is infected - maybe you need to have it pulled.
