Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The skin like flap over the cheek is nothing but a inflamed salivary gland duct which is present at the level of upper second molar. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin. Do saline gargling and drink lot of water.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
