White tags inside mouth

I recently felt an irregular surface on the left side of my mouth. When I looked in a mirror I saw a couple white tags on the inner surface of my cheek. I can flap them back & forth with my tongue but they don't hurt. There's little or no redness apparent, what are they & should I be worried?

I looked up your suggestions & the pictures don't look anything like what's in my mouth. They are very small & white tags.

Your descriptions suggest irritation fibroma on buccal mucosa. Seeing an oral surgeon is advisd.
