Need an intra-oral X ray to give final diagnosis.
Kindly visit nearby dentist.
Age of patient also matters.
How old are you?
If patient is around 18 years one can wait till the third molar erupts provided it's position should be favorable for eruption.

The picture is not very clear. It can be a pericoronal flap on your wisdom tooth. Kindly visit an oral and maxillofacial surgeon for proper evaluation and management.

As we can see in the photograph, there is no excessive redness or swelling associated with the impacted tooth. Considering you are not in any discomfort or pain we can wait and expect the impacted tooth to start erupting. However it is recommended to take the radiograph to analyse the eruption path of the tooth.
Feel free to book an appointment for better understanding of the problem.
