Bumps in mouth

[pattim541]

I quit chewing snuff about a month ago. I have been using nicotine gum to ease the transition. In the past couple of months, I've noticed bumps inside my lower lip. They are small yet visible, and I can feel them with my finger. Also, my lip is a little swollen around the line that separates the bottom of the bottom lip from my face. I also notice the slight swelling in the mirror -- it is puffed out. I'm supposed to go to the dentist in June. Is this something that should be looked at sooner?

I have a blister? on the roof of my mouth. every 3-4 months it returns. very painful for 2-3 days then just goes away. it feels like puss. takes a day or 2 to grow then a day or two after it pops to go away. went to an oral surgeon and he could not tell me what it is. any ideas? thank you

I think a visit to an oral surgeon is in order asap.
