Undergone Surgical Tooth Extraction. Have Fluid Filled Overgrown Tissue On Healing Gum. Could This Be A Keloid?

Hey. I had a surgical tooth extraction about 3-4 weeks ago and there is a large, malleable seemingly fluid-filled pinkish reddish bloodblister-looking overgrown tissue on the healing gum. I bit down on something and it must have perforated. It bled and bled. When I felt it after, it had gone down but the tissue was still there albeit smaller. Could this be a keloid on the healing gum?

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
No this is not keloid, this could be hypergranulation tissues and might turned into the small cyst, little surgical debridement may require in this case, it will be alright with this, you can have word with your dentist, have nice day.
