A doctor has provided 1 answer

Mucocoel: The skin lining the inside of the mouth contains many glands that secrete mucous.Sometimes the mechanical action of chewing will break the tubes that bring the mucous to the surface ; a cyst will form under the skin when the mucous cannot get out.An ENT or dentist can opened ; remove them.They can reoccur.Have it looked at and arrange for removal.
