Since it's 6 months now so it won't be a site for pus collection, you can get an X-RAY done to rule out if any root piece is remaining or not.

Whitish appearing gum may be due to fibrosis after removal of teeth which is very common and normal situation.check wether you are accidentally biting your own cheek sometimes. Also you should visit a dentist and get an X-ray done for that area.please also get ur teeth replaced as it is more than six months now.

Hello...as you said you had an extraction 6 months ago means healing of extraction socket is complete and in this case it's unlikely to ooz pus from that site..however u can take an iopa (X ray) to rule out any root piece underlying...make sure your gum condition is healthy... There may be pus coming out from gums around adjacent teeth...
Health Tips
do gargles with lukewarm water with little salt 2-3 times a day..
