If it growing adjacent to it may be it's an abscess filled with pus due to infection from dental caries. You need to visit a dentist n get better diagnosis.

This could be pus formation or a small tumor. The decayed tooth has to be treated immediately. If it can be saved by doing a root canal treatment, well and good. If it has crossed that stage, then it has to be removed. Clinical evaluation and x-rays are required before the definite treatment can be decided.
Next Steps
Visit immediately and get checked.

Although it cannot be said for sure based on the description that you have mentioned, but it seems that you have granuloma developing alongside the decayed tooth..... extraction of such tooth it will be recommended if root canal treatment is not possible and this can be judged only after an xray.
