Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The white bubble or lump on the gums could be secondary to the tooth or gum infection. Consult a oral physician and get it diagnosed. If it is a tooth infection then get endodontically treated. If it is gum infection get the teeth cleaned along with a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin 250mg tid for three days.
The other possible cause could be a herpetic virus infection. Nothing to worry the viral infection is self limiting.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
