Brief Answer:
tooth/gum infection, RCT/scaling, medications
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
As far as the blister which has ruptured and resulted in a hole formation is concerned, it can be a pus discharging sinus tract secondary to tooth or gum infection. The other possible cause can be because of the irritation or trauma caused by the denture to the gums. Nothing to worry, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. You need to get a radiograph done to confirm the diagnosis.
If it is a tooth infection, you need to get the tooth treated with RCT or extraction.
If it is a gum infection, you need to get the teeth cleaned(scaling).
These are the possible diagnosis and treatment plan based on your description of the lesion, if you can upload the images of the lesion, i can give you exact diagnosis and treatment plan.
If I am your treating doctor, I would have suggested you to take a course of antibiotics in the mean while like amoxicillin and metronidazole (if you are not allergic).
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
If you have any queries, reply me back.
