Well, as soon as I saw the original post my thought was Fordyce's spots: Enlarged ectopic sebacous glands in the mucosa of the mouth (lips, cheek, tongue) and genitals. They appear as small yellow spots, 1-2 mm in diameter, called Fordyce's spots. Localization may vary. They are asymptomatic and present in the majority of people. Etiology unknown.

I have TONS of these little bumps, but none have ever gotten so big to cause pain.  so I guess I'm guessing.
