You need to get the upper wisdom tooth checked. It might create the trouble due to improper positioning. Get it checked by dentist and get the x Ray done.

Hello sir , from the picture you have attached it seems like a cheek bite which can occur when the tissue of your cheek comes in between the teeth upon biting . No need to worry its nothing serious
Next Steps
You can visit the nearest dental professional to get the sharp cuspal edges of the teeth causing irritation rounded off. Hope it helps .

Hello,
It's due to cheek biting, because of the positioning of the wisdom tooth and the cavity in the wisdom tooth.
Next Steps
It would be advisable to get the wisdom tooth removed, to avoid it exaggerating
Health Tips
Keep good oral hygiene, avoid food accumulation in that area

The pic shared shows peri coronal flap covering partially erupted wisdom tooth .
It is pigmented due to frictional keratosis ,which is simply repeated rubbing /trauma from the upper teeth .
Nothing to worry ,if gets infected as food can trap under it ,then wisdom tooth can be removed.
Next Steps
Visit Dentist for radiographic evaluation
