Please show it to your nearest dentist to rule out the cause of it. It can be because of deposits .if yes please get a full mouth cleaning done and do warm salt water rinses 4-5 times a day and you can use a gum paint named stolin over your gums apply two times a day with the help of finger just massage it over the affected area.
