If there's pain: Associated with the lump, it can be an abscess. It can also be an impacted third molar. Please see a dentist for definitive diagnosis and x-ray.

Gingival abscess: A gum abscess usually requires treatment; otherwise it can worsen and result in the destruction of the surrounding tissue. See your dentist for evaluation and treatment.
