Hi, I am Dr. Atul Kumar Nimawat MS ENT. Thank you for your query and the attached image. From the image and the symptoms you’ve described, it appears that the red, fleshy area in the left posterior part of your mouth might be due to one of the following common conditions: Enlarged or hypertrophied lymphoid tissue – This is quite common near the tonsillar or retromolar region and may appear as a red, lobulated structure. Minor salivary gland swelling or mucous retention cyst (mucocele) – This can enlarge due to irritation or blockage and cause discomfort when exposed to temperature changes. Benign soft tissue growth – Such as a fibroma or papilloma, especially if there is chronic friction or trauma from a tooth. Early signs of a reactive lesion or irritation fibroma – These often don’t hurt unless irritated by food, especially cold or spicy items. Since there is no persistent pain, ulceration, bleeding, or rapid growth, it is less likely to be malignant, but a proper oral examination is essential.
