Hi,
Does the bump contain clear fluid? This might suggest a mucus retention cyst(saliva gets accumulated from rupture and blockage of small glands). If appeared following trauma at that site, we can wait for 1-2 weeks for resolution. But, usually this will recur and will need removal (under local anaesthesia) for definitive cure.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
