Hello
What you are assuming as a lump could be only white patch(keratotic) on both sides.
Next Steps
Visit a dentist and they ll prescribe you medicines for symptomatic relief like topical steroids for a few days.
Health Tips
As of now, symptoms will subside within a few days of medicines but try and quit tobacco.Keratotic patches are often frictional due to trauma from chewing but it needs to be evaluated for leukoplakia or any malignant transformation.

The leathery feel and white appearance, combined with your 6-year tobacco history, suggest a condition like OSMF (Oral Submucous Fibrosis) or Leukoplakia. This needs immediate clinical attention to prevent it from progressing.
Next Steps
Please consult an Oral Medicine Specialist or an Oral Surgeon for a physical check-up and a biopsy.
Health Tips
STOP chewing tobacco immediately, as it is the direct cause of this irritation.
