I've had this white, painless lump on my gum for about a year now, and it's not grown or anything. Should I be worried about it?

I've noticed that I have this soft lump inside my cheek, but it doesn't hurt. I'm a bit concerned and wondering if it's something I should be worried about. Could it be serious or just something harmless?
Could be a benign condition such as a mucocele or a fibroma. These are usually harmless but it is recommended to have it evaluated by a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis. You can use over-the-counter pain relief medications like acetaminophen for any discomfort.

I've been wondering if there's a difference between an OSMF lesion and leukoplakia. About a month ago, my doctor mentioned I had initial OSMF, and since then, most of my symptoms have disappeared. However, I still have these gray and white patches on both sides of my buccal mucosa, one being around 3 to 4 cm and the other being thinner and smaller with a gap between them. Could this be leukoplakia or is it an OSMF lesion? I'm really curious if these are the same thing or if they're different, and if they are different, which one is more concerning?
Oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF) and erythroplakia are both premalignant conditions that can develop in the mouth.The description you are suggesting doesn't fit into the diagnosis... Can you post a pic of the lesion
