I have a painful white bump inside my cheedk on the side edgeof my lips. There seems to be a small ulcer on it. What could it be and what are the home remedies and treatments? It's painful and it feels like a cold sore but the raised white bump concerns me. Please help.

1. because the history requires an Examination with Oral Surgeon/Dentist/ENT specialist to look for any hidden pathology, [blood test for infection, appropriate X-ray], so in best Interest prior to have an appointment with them, I will provide home remedies on the basis of 'Stomatitis'

2. Pain is an indication that something is wrong, so expert evaluation, diagnosis and treatment is required.

3.
. avoid food that contain acid [citrus fruits], also nuts, chocolates
. take a cotton swab and soak it in any type of raw liquor, press it directly on the ulcer for about 2 minutes for 2 days.
. eat ripe pomegranate.
. mix honey in cold water and gargle with this [three times a day], or you may use mouth rinse with baking soda in it.
. avoid: black gram,milk,yogurt,jaggery,dry/heavy food,day time sleeping, sleeping in prone position.
. You may suck 'Khadiradi Vati' as Lozenges
