It's is like a numbing stinging pain in my cheeks and they feel swollen. I've attached 2 pictures. Does it look like I am maybe doing something like sucking or gnawing the cheeks ( maybe in my sleep) also the cheeks feel puffy and swollen. It's is not everyday but most days. I have an allergist appt in 2 months and oral surgeon in a month. The marks are by the pAratoid duct area. Oh and the dentist did check and there was no blockage in glands. Please help!!!! I've been anxious and cannot eat properly. I just want a solution! I've also been to the ENT. Thanks in advance

Good day,

Chronic cheek biting or even a molar that is slightly titled towards the cheek, might cause this painful area in the cheek. It is called morsicatio buccarum.
Do you still have your upper wisdom teeth?
