Small bump on roof of mouth
A few days ago I noticed a bump on the right side of my hard palate, just a little off to the right of the center. It doesn't really feel like anything more than a bump. It's not a blister; nothing comes out if I scratch it. It seems to recede when I scratch it (then comes back after about a minute or so), and it isn't there in the morning. Only about ten minutes after I wake up does it start forming again.
I am 21 years old; I don't drink, or smoke. I just came back to school after a summer, where I led a very sedintary lifestyle, and did not eat much.
Is it just something that developed from stress? I don't think it is a tumor, as that wouldn't recede when being touched or during sleep, am I correct? Please help me with this.
I don't want to really go to the Student Health Center; any pain or symptom coming from a female student is ALWAYS a pregnancy sign, and they just tell you to take advil and give you a pregnancy test.
