Hello!Thank you for posting here.

This an be a infection or mucocele of the minor salivary gland.A clinical examination is necessary to help you.You did not mention if it is painful.So,it must be mostly a mucocele.
Mucocele if persists for long must be removed surgically.
You cannot remove it at home as it is a minor surgical procedure.
You did not mention why you do not want to see a dentist.IF you are scared about treatment, it is not painful procedure.
Gargle thrice daily with salt water.

Hope this helps.
