Trauma or infection: Please see a gum specialist, a periodontist, for examination, diagnosis, and treatment plan. May be a simple as food debris fought under the edge of the gums. May be from systemic disease. May be from localized infection or from the gums getting scratched. See a pro, see a periodontist.
