Did you perhaps injure yourself in this area?
Best advice would be to have the lesion excised, if it does not disappear after 2 weeks, and then biopsy it, to rule out anything sinister.

No noticable injury, allthough that is an area that i would sometimes bite on. What does it look like to you?

It looks like an area where you might have injured yourself, for example biting yourself. It then forms a mucocele or an area of scar tissue.
It can still be excised.
