Found lump inside cheek, near nose under cheekbone—anyone else ever have this?

I was rubbing my face today and noticed one spot hurt when I pressed on it. I eventually found a lump there by running index finger along inside of mouth and other finger along outside of cheek. The lump is under my cheekbone more near my nose, inside my cheek (or maybe mouth?) It is not visible but I can feel it and I think move it between two fingers. It hurts when I smile but doesn’t hurt to touch the lump. I have a scheduled an appointment with my GP but it’s not for a few days, and I am freaking out. Anyone with similar experience, or any idea what this could be?

If it's on the inside of your mouth and you can feel it it's likely a canker sore.  If it's not felt on the inside of your mouth I have no idea.
