The main reason I am posting this message is for the following. I have developed a lump on my hard pallete which is sore when I press my tongue into it. I had one a couple of months earlier, but it slowly went away after about 2-3 weeks. I dismissed that one to a tooth brush injury. This one though I cannot dismiss because I have been more vigilant (not a tooth brush injury) since the first one. Can you offer any insight to this? I am concerned I picked up some kind of bacteria or virus passed from my hands to food into my mouth which had been already irritated by salt n vineger chips.

Thank you.
