Based on what I see on the picture,there is no sign of any pathology. It's most probably part of Linea alba or opening of the parotid gland duct both of them are normal

Hello there ,
Based on the clinical presentation, the lesion appears to be due to cheek biting, which may result from a dental crossbite or a habitual biting habit. I recommend visiting an orthodontist for a thorough evaluation and appropriate management.

Hi,
There is no need to worry. It is due to cheek biting. Check for any sharp teeth.
