Hi there,
you have not mentioned whether you have some habit like smoking etc. If yes then stop the habit immediately and get a check up done with your dentist. if you don't have any habit then it might be linea alba buccalis or in simple terms cheek bite due to the eruption of third molar.
Next Steps
better get the condition checked once by your dentist
