Please tell what are you feeding . If on home food, it might be early signs of kidney failure

Looks like a papule. It may be due to bacterial infection or self trauma or superficial injury to the mucus membrane (due to foreign body chewing habits).
Next Steps
Doesn't seem to be serious. If it spreads or increases in size show him to a vet.
Health Tips
Keep in observation, Liquid betadine application can be tried as primary first aid for a day or two. Hope this helps. Thanks

It's very difficult to diagnose this issue without physical examination. Better to consult a local vet

It can be ulcer or loss of pigmentation, which is not dangerous, but it needs to be checked to rule out other possible cause, like tumor too. Kindly get him checked once.
