Hi,
You seem to have mucocele. It is a cyst containing mucin. It is a benign condition caused by blockage of ducts of salivary glands. It might follow after minor trauma. It may subside without any treatment. So have patience. Salt water gargles might help you. If it does not subside, minor surgery may be needed. You consult dermatologist and have perfect treatment.
I hope you got my answer.
Thanks.
