Hi there. It could be because of the tobacco usage and poor oral hygiene. Needs physical examination to confirm.

Next Steps

Kindly stop smoking and other addictions. Maintain a good oral hygiene. I'd recommend salt water gargling thrice a day.

Health Tips

Please note regularly if the size increases or if there's any colour change or you develop pain.
