Picture: Yes, please share the picture and we can see what this is. Most mouth sores or injuries heal well and fairly quickly. Is it painful?

Your question: Rather than trying to upload a photo of your problem area which may or not be of diagnostic quality and helpful in determining what you have, see a local dentist for an evaluation.

See below: If you feel the area is problematic, see your dentist. From the description, it seems like a traumatic injury that will heal on its own.

I have known: of this happening and a piece becomes lodged in the tissue causing an infection like reaction. See a dentist asap for evaluation and treatment.

Traumatic ulcer: If it healed in 10 days then its the bodies normal response to trauma. If not then have your dentist take a look.
