Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic and thanks for putting up the query
from the pictures you have attached it appears to me like a mucous retention cyst..it is an incidental finding..
best would be to go for an excision biopsy..i.e. Removed and get it checked from pathologist..
No tobacco at all..
The adjacent gums are also unhealthy..please consult a dentist..
You are always welcome for any queries
regards

Hi
Thanks for the follow up query
in my opiniin it seems to be a benign lesion only..you can apply kenacort gel on this
also use hexidine mouth wash ..
if there is any increase in the size or you have any discomfort, please visit a surgeon..
Take care..
