Hello!Thank you for posting here.

This can be a lesion of the mucosa.I suggest you to get a biopsy done for the lesion.A constant irritation of the area may cause increase in the size of the lesion.
Check if there is a sharp tooth hurting in the site.If you are a smoker.Quit immediately.Do not take alcohol.Avoid tobacco in any form.
Avoid spicy foods.Maintain a healthy life style.A steroidal gel will be suggested by your dentist after a clinical examination and biopsy.

Hope this helps.
