I have a painless lump on the side of my mouth, what is it?

I had this lump on the side of my cheek for a while now, when I bite it, it feels hard it doesn't hurt at all and it's kind of gotten bigger over these past months, a little bit, though.

It's as big as the tip of my ring finger, it's a bit yellowish compared to the surrounding area of my mouth, I see little nerves I guess on it.

I think it's a cyst, but do I have to go to a doctor about it because now I'm pretty concerned.

Summary of Characteristics- Hard, Growing, Yellowish, and Painless, It's pretty hard there's like no wrinkles or loose tissue surrounding it.

You need to wander over to a mouth/dental forum. And have your eyes checked in the near future.
