Hi there, I've had several in person PS exams in which I've been told that there is no way this lump near my mouth is herniated buccal fat bc of its location and how it feels. But I'm skeptical.. I'm in my 40s but my skin is still tight and young, and the lump appeared suddenly, been here for over a year.. The lump on the other side feels more superficial and less prominent. Is it at all possible those drs were wrong? Not sure what else this could be.. Thanks!
