Brief Answer:
Seems like ulcer or inflamed salivary gland, not serious..

Detailed Answer:
Hi..
Welcome back..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern..

As per the explanation and images attached it can either be an ulcer or can also be an inflamed minor salivary gland..
It can also be a Mucocele or a mucous retention cyst..

Nothing to worry, start doing warm saline gargle..
Apply numbing gel containing Lignocaine over the lump..
You can also do cool compresses over it..
Take a Vitamin B complex daily..

See for 3 days and then revert me back with the response and treatment..

Please revert back with answers..

Regards..
