Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
It looks that your wisdom tooth is erupting, that is why firstly there was a eruption bulge and afterwards a hole to make space for tooth, so there is nothing to worry about it, but if there is pain in that area them you should consult a good dentist.
Hope it will help you.
