Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

I would like to tell you that the area near the wisdom tooth is difficult to clean and often leads bacterial accumulation leading to inflammation and swelling of the region known as PERICORONITIS which you feel is extra skin.

I would suggest you to visit to an Oral Surgeon get an OPG radiograph and plan for the removal of the tooth.
Take a course of antibiotics and analgesics.
At home take lukewarm saline and antiseptic mouthwash rinses.


Hope you find this as helpful,

Regards..
