Hello sir ,
It appears as a mucocel it is a collection of saliva under the epithelium . It is caused by any trauma to the minor salivary gland. Mucocel may not lead to cancer.
Treatment surgical removal of the mucocel . Proper removal has to be done to avoid recurrence.

It does appear to be a mucocele. Mucoceles cannot be treated with medicines. It needs to be removed surgically.
It is just a collection of saliva under the skin of the mouth, it will not lead to cancer.
