Suggest Remedies For An Extra Skin Growth Inside Mouth

I have this flap on the inside of my mouth that I've had for about 2 days.
- it doesn't HURT excruciatingly when left alone but when touched with my tongue it hurts about a 2 out of 10, so it's minor pain
- it's coloration is the same as my cheek, although it does appear to have a white/foggy tiny spot on it
-its not a bite because I don't recall me biting my cheek and plus its too high to be a bite
-Ive been putting salt water on it before i go to sleep since yesterday
-its annoying but I can't feel it in my mouth unless touched with my tongue

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain a flap of skin over the cheek that is mildly painful and does not cause any botheration can be most probably a Fibroma that occurs due to soft tissue overgrowth and is a harmless soft tissue or fibrous overgrowth..

Other causes can be a Wart, skin tag etc..

I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated as if it is a fibroma it will not resolve with salt water and you need to get it removed surgically..

So first get a clinical examination done and get it treated as per the cause..
Avoid touching it again and again with tongue as it can become irritated, inflamed and sore..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
