Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The white boil or lump could be a traumatic fibroma or a frictional keratosis secondary to chronic irritation by the sharp cuspal edges of the teeth. Nothing to worry consult a oral maxillofacial surgeon and get it removed surgically. it is a simple procedure, done under local anesthesia.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
