I have the same thing

I\'m going to the doctor today 1/15/09 since it\'s been 2 months.
Mine all started after I cut my gum eating doritos.And a sharp piece cut my gum.A month later I noticed this small spot/bump.
I will update when I know more.I know I can\'t \"pop\" it and make it disappear.It\'s staying put,maybe they could laser it.

Update

Told to use Listerine 4 or 5 times a day.
It's just an infection from something under your gum.
