Baby teething granule?

A baby teething granule (gum granuloma or eruption cyst) is a small, bluish-purple or reddish bump that can form on the gums just before a baby tooth comes in. This structure that forms when the tooth pushes the gum is actually a cyst filled with blood or tissue fluid — there's nothing to worry about.
Most of the time it goes away on its own: when the tooth erupts through this bump, the granule bursts and heals. It doesn't require intervention; definitely don't try to burst, puncture, or apply cream to it. If it causes pain, you can use a cold teething ring or gentle pressure with a clean cloth for comfort. If it doesn't disappear after 2 weeks, grows larger, or interferes with the baby's feeding, it's worth showing to a pediatrician or pediatric dentist.
