Brief Answer:
traumatic ulcer, lignocaine, choline salicylate.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
As far as the cut near the back of the mouth near the site of wisdom tooth area is concerned, i have two possibilities.
It can be a traumatic ulcer secondary to any tooth brush trauma or trauma from the opposing tooth over the gums.
The other possible cause can be open extraction socket, which is not closed completely. The paleness of the mucosa can be because of the irritation from the opposing tooth over the mucosa at the extracted site(frictional keratosis).
Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take topical anesthetic like lignocaine gel and topical analgesic like choline salicylate. Do saline gargling.
These are the possible diagnosis and treatment plan based on your description of the lesion. If you can take a photograph of the lesion and upload it, i can give you the exact diagnosis and treatment plan.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
If any queries are there, reply me back.
