Nothing to worry. It is a recurring mucocele. Kindly get it surgically excised by an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. Your issue will be resolved.

This is indeed a mucocele. It's not cancerous, and it does need to be excised via laser or surgical blade. There's nothing to be worried about.
Please get the necessary treatment done. It comes back because the offending salivary duct is still affected.
