Bumps in the mouth: typically heal in 1-2 weeks, you can wait til you get back but i would make appointment now to see someone when you return. Hopefully and likely it is nothing bad, but you need to make sure if its still there in 3 weeks to see someone (oral surgeon, dermatologist)

Don't touch it: If its creeping you out stop by urgent care. If not you must not touch it while you are away although it may burst.
