Could this be serious like mouth cancer?

I’m 19 years old and don’t smoke or drink. I have this white growth/spot or lesion maybe (?)that has a spongy feeling on my lower inner cheek. it also has a super tiny hole but unfortunately i couldn’t stretch my mouth that further to get a pic of it. i’m in pain/discomfort when i eat so i have to avoid chewing on that side. when i bite down on nothing, my teeth involuntary bites down on it which triggers the pain. im very anxious if this is anything serious/cancerous. my dentist appointment isn’t until late august sadly so i have been restless

Looks like a saliva duct. As they slightly protrude it’s easy to bite them, once they’re slightly inflamed you keep catching them when chewing. I’ve had this many times. If you’re worried and/or it doesn’t get any better after 2 weeks then get it checked out.
