It looks like inflammation of minor glands over there due to allergic reactions. ( Might be chemicals pan, spicy foods etc). Unless you have burning sensation, pain persistently, nothing to worry. Avoid hot and spicy foods, it will resolve itself.
Next Steps
Please have check up immediately if there is any whitish layer formation or difficulty in opening .
Hope this helps you
