White bump is pocking out in the back of my cheeks. Its sticking out and I can push it and touch it without pain. When I chew I bite on it, not much pain but def not good feeling. It feels like im biting my cheeks but then I went to check and felt/seen this.

Please help me figure this out.

Good day,

For how long has the white area been present? It could only be keratinization of normal tissue due to chronic cheek biting.

Could you provide more images? It's hard to see. I agree with Dr. M for possible hyperkeratinized (calloused) tissue. I'm also suspecting traumatic fibroma. The body is making abnormal tissue to protect itself and it's best to minimize the cause of irritation/trauma.
