Looks normal to me just a cheek bite you can visit your dentist for better diagnosis if you feel you have other symptoms with it like burning sensation or unable to eat spicy food , frequent ulcers

Sometimes it is a blood clot which appears like this and is due to bitten cheek sometime ago. I don’t think it has anything to do with benign or non benign lesions. Rest you can show it to a nearby dentist so he can see it clinically too.

Please visit an oral medicine or oral surgeon for proper examination. Though it doesn't seem to be anything suspicious and could be a cheek bite with clotted blood. But fro exact diagnosis you need to visit a dentist.
Next Steps
You can also observe it over for a few days and if the size doesn't increase/ or the lesion changes color towards normalcy/ or it disappears, there's nothing to be done. However, if the lesion increases in size immediately seek medical attention
