Can someone help me?
For two days, I had this strange bump on the roof of my mouth (hard palate). Since it started to hurt, I started to research what it might be and when I touched it to feel if it was hard, it popped like a zit. The only thing that came out of it was pure white (not clear) just as if you popped a zit on your face.
So now that I have popped this unknown bump, I am afraid of what in the world it is. It is still very sore but less annoying as it is no longer a big as it was. I would guess it was about the size of a medium zit on your face to compare.
Can anyone help me? I looked up several dental sites but merely mention Mucoceles but these are painless and this one random bump is very painful and clearly zit-like.
Any ideas?

Contacted my doctor and he said if it last more than an few hours or gets bigger than a pumpkin seed got to your doctor and if it gets even bigger go to emergency but they are usually caused by eating really spicy food

Im not sure if I have the same thing as you guys, but I was able to fix it by gargling salt water and mouth wash one after the other.

Can be herpes. It shows also inside mouth and throat. Alcohol, salty or acidy foods, mcuh smoking, etc makes one appear also in the same spot in my mouth. I'll see what's the desntist's oppinion.

It could be an infection in the mouth spreading, and you may need a root canal. I got a very sore bump in the roof of my mouth along with painful teeth, so I went to my dentist. I had a root canal done but it was never quite finished. My appointment to get it finished has been delayed several times and the bump is back in the same place so I am going back to my dentist.

Sorry, but that is actually bad advise. As root channels themselves can get infected, and even cause death is not found! They are dangerous, and I wish I would of learned this, before I had a root channel. Never again!!!! Do some research on root channels, and not anything the FDA or Dr.'s put out, because they are there to make money. Go to natural sites to find the truth!

My orthodontist told me it was an irratated bump. I have an overbite and when you chew really hard, the roof of your mouth gets irratated.
