Good day
On your palate, you have several minor salivary ducts. Sometimes these ducts can become blocked, leading to the formation of a mucous retention cyst, that ruptures and then heals. It can then return at a later stage. I would keep an eye on the area. If it enlarges or if it becomes painful, go and see an oral surgeon to have it excised.
