Not normal...: ... and not cancer. The lesions may be small periodontal abscesses that fill and then drain. Your dentist will open up soon enough. You'll need to be seen and evaluated for treatment. Failure to treat can result in loss of your teeth.

Not cancer: Call an Oral Surgeon or a Periodontist and report your findings. He/she will probably want to see you the next time you have an outbreak.
