Brief Answer:
Few possible causes
Detailed Answer:
Hi and welcome.
I don't see the picture but it sounds to me like clogged sublingual gland which forms then a cyst that may grow over the time. If there is no pain or infection then there is no need for treatment. However,if this makes you some difficulties or concerns then it can be removed by ENT doctor. Wish you good health. Regards
