Should I be or worried am I over thinking?.

Good afternoon all.

I live in the UK and I’m 28. I am not sure if it’s relevant but I am type 1 diabetic and I am a non smoker.

For approx a 6-8 weeks I’ve had what feels like a growth/spot or something similar on my gum behind my bottom teeth. I am experiencing no other symptoms and the growth/spot is painless.

The reason I have been put off the dentist so long is because the dentist is my biggest fear. I haven’t been in years and I’m going to try my best to call tomorrow.

I know I can’t be directly told what it is or could be but opinions would be appreciated as you can imagine I’ve googled and it’s come up with cancer and it looks similar?!.

I just need assurance to get me through today and night and then I can sleep and stop panicking.

Please see attached pictures. I did best I could.

It's hard to be certain from your photos but it looks like it might be a papilloma, sort of a wart in your gum. Please go and get it looked at properly, just to be sure.
