Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

It seems to be a small blood clot which may have occurred at the soft tissue at the salivary duct area. The reason may be due to suction pressure which might have created a negative pressure inside the mouth causing such minor blood clots. It is not a severe condition to get worried. As it is a soft tissue area, it takes too much time to go away. It will resolve on its own, and no action is needed, and definitely, nothing to be worried. Send a clear picture if possible.

Thank you.
