At the top of my gum, I have a white and red spot that hurts when I move my mouth. Will it heal on its own?

It is not recommended to pop any lesions in your mouth as it could worsen a possible infection. It is best to rinse your mouth with a mouthwash like Listerine or Peroxyl to help with healing. If the lesion has been present for a while and is causing pain, it is best to consult a dentist for proper treatment.
