What Could Cause A Pimple Inside The Mouth With Pus In It?

I have an area on the lower rt side of my mouth that had a pus pocket,it would drain if I applied pressure to it-then it wouldn't drain anymore but it is very sore & my gums' color has changed. I don't have any teeth in the back where this going on at but I am worried about it. Medicaid will not pay for work because I am over 21 yrs old. Please any advice Doc? In pain in Ga.

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,
I have gone through your query, as you have mentioned that you have pus pocket, dont worry it is not pimple it is sinus opening from that pus drains , as you said you dont have discolored teeth , pus can be due to periodontal Abscess also ,
You should go to dentist and go for Intra Oral Periapical m Radiograph and it is is not due to Carious tooth then go for Scaling and Root planning and Currettage, if it is due Caries then it is Periapical Abscess go for Root canal treatment done ,
Do warm saline gargle two - three times a day
Hope this will help you.
Wish you good Health.
