What Causes Skin Tag In Mouth And Pus Filled Tooth?

I have a skin tag in my mouth, just above my 2 front teeth, is this a common place to get them, every so often it fills with puss and as soon as I touch it, it releases the puss, it doesn't cause any pain, but I had a extraction of one of my 2 front teeth several years ago, is this normal?

hello
It definatly appears that it is infected so get it immediately checked to an dentist.
skin tags or papiloma can be seen in these areas but since it fills up with pus better get it checked and surgically get it removed.
