Hi,
That is the healing tissue after extraction. Are you experiencing any pain over that area. Maintain a good oral hygiene and keep the area clean to avoid any infection. Follow all post extraction instructions that were given after the procedure.

That’s the clot formation that’s taking place, indicating that tissue healing is taking place. No need to worry.
Next Steps
Do lukewarm saline rinse thrice a day if extraction was done 2-3 days back to fasten the healing process.
