I don't know if this is related to UC...

I have a miniature hard bump on the inside of my cheek. When I touch it and press it with my tongue, it almost disappears. I can only feel a small "hill" where the bump is. But then it returns a couple of hours later. When I press it again. It disappears again, but then returns a few hours later.

I am not sure whether I had this before.

I don't know if its related to UC, but with these kind of things its always best to go to the docs to show him.

It could be nothing or it could be something. See your family doctor and ask.

my friend had the same thing and it appeared shortly after her visit at the dentist's. The dentist said that it was related to the pressure and it may take a long time to disappear completely. Maybe you've also had an appointment at the dentist's?

Hey, ewa. I went to the dentist more than a year ago. Also, I don't feel the bump anymore. I just feel the spot where it was.

I have a dentist appointment in ~2 weeks. I am going to ask him about this...

Could it be an oral mucocele?

^That's common with mucoceles.
