Oral surgeon: Can't say without examining you. If it has been there for more than a few weeks, likely excision with biopsy will be necessary. See an oral surgeon

Salivary gland: There are 2 salivary glands under the tongue. Sometimes when you open your mouth to yawn you may have seen saliva squirt out of your mouth . these are the culprits doing that. They can get partially blocked, irritated, or sore, but usually resolve quickly. Take a look. If this persists, see the Oral Surgeon for examination and diagnosis and tx options. Good Luck.
