Lump in mouth
Observed this lump in mouth 3 days ago. It is not hard or painful but seems like a skin tag or veiny. Veins are also visible on it and it bleeds on abrasion. First I thought it is because of trauma because of recent severe pharyngitis but to I see a white line on its edge. Please tell what can it be, should I be worried about it
