    Crease between cheeck and gum feels swollen
    The right side of my mouth, the upper part between my gums and cheek feels weird. It feels like there is something stuck in there. It feels swollen but I've had people check myself included and its not any different looking the left side. Id like to know what this is, if its serious of not?

    * I looked and it looks like it might be a cut however I am not sure
    * I have rubbed it to the point its now raw

    It probably is just a little cut. Have you eaten anything sharp, like potato chips?

    It probably is a little puffy because it's irritated and because it's in your mouth. You're fine.

    If it doesn't go away though and you're still worried about it then you should go to the doctors. But I'm sure it's nothing :)

    It could be anything - you need to see a Dentist, not a Doctor, if this continues. Leaving it alone would also be helpful.
