What could be the ball of tissue on the side of my cheeks?
Patient: I have a small ball of tissue on the side of my cheek, near the vertex of my upper and lower lip. It hurts to stretch my mouth or to touch the ball of tissue - been like this for about a week. There is no sign of the lump from looking inside, but when I stretch my lips taut, to the side, the ball of tissue is outlined. Doctor: Hi, dearI have gone through your question.
