Thanks for your query, i have gone through your query. The whole over the gums could be a pus discharging sinus tract secondary to tooth or gum infection. consult a oral physician and get yourself examined to rule out the tooth infection like periapical or dentoalveolar abscess and get a radiograph done. if it is infected tooth, then get it restored or removed. i hope my answer will help you, take care.
