Hi! We dentists prefer to take any lumps seriously. Most of the times it could be nothing. In your case it could just be an infection, but still i would prefer you visited a dentist who would probably take an x-ray for that area. X-ray would definitely throw better light on your situation.
Relax and visit your dentist!
