As most oral lesions have a Dental or supporting tissue origin, suggest starting w your Dentist. Of not a Dental problem, Dentist will refer you to appropriate practitioner for additional investigation.

Possible abscess: Most painful bumps in the mouth are an indication of an abscess or infection. The only way to be sure is to have a dental exam. Please see a dentist ASAP.

How : How long have you had this? Are you a smoker?
Diagnosing lesions like this over the internet, sight unseen, is not prudent.
It may be nothing, and then again it can be serious.
Call an oral surgeon and make an appointment for a consultation.
