LOL

does anyone know what the flaps of skin on the inside of your cheek are called?

And are they something you are born with or develop?

The inside of your cheek? What "flaps" are you talking about; I only know the inside of my cheeks are the inside of my cheeks; my "mouth"?

LOL believe it or not, some people end up with flaps like this that are actually like "pockets." Some people can put stuff in them!

Don't sweat it. . .if they bug you, get them removed. Otherwise, consider it part of your eccentricities!

I have small ones right inside my mouth near the creases(?) and sometimes I accidentally bite them in my sleep. I don't like em.
