Chin/Jaw Bump con'td (sorry- couldn't access the original)

I was also wondering if there are any resources aside from this that might help me better assess the situation. I'm all out of insurance for the next month so a biopsy isn't at this point an option. I'm just wondering how concerned i should be .

First question have you stopped chewing tobacco?  If you haven't you should, it does cause cancer.  Do you have dental insurance?  you could see a dentist.  However you need to see someone to have it checked.  Also stop smoking the cigars, trust me you do not want to a have cancer, and if it is, you want to catch it early.  Good luck

Bumps around the chin and jaw are very common, and are mostly due to swollen lymph nodes.  It's more concerning when they last more than 2 weeks, at that time, they're worth looking into, and possibly biopsing.
