Hi. No need to worry. You either have a periodontal abscess or a chronic localized gingival enlargement due to calculus. However check up is required to arrive at conclusion. Visit a nearby dentist for treatment.

May be you don't have to be scared, but a thorough examination would be necessary for further treatment.
