Hello sir,
Though the lesion in the picture appears very hazy, given the region and history, it could be an aphthous ulcer or traumatic fibroma.
A clinical examination and assessment of lymphnodes for involvement of any would give a better insight on the diagnosis.
Next Steps
Visit / consult an Oral and Maxillofacial surgeon.
Health Tips
Avoid any topical application of medication if not prescribed. This could exaggerate or sometimes mask the underlying condition.

Though the pic shared is not very clear ,it looks like a traumatic bite causing erythema and ulceration.
Gels like kenacort/rexidine will reduce inflammation but unless the cause is dealt with ,it will not resolve completely.
Please see a dentist for proper clinical examination ,doesn't look worrying but get it checked.
Next Steps
