I have a soft lump near the corner of my mouth.

Coop1
I can push the lump in, but in a short time it fills back in. It also feels like I am popping bubbles in my mouth all the time. I am 10 months post op. What causes this and what can I do about it? Is there a laser or ultrasound treatment that can smooth out this pocket of fluid? The lump has been present since my operation. My doctor said to massage it, but that has done nothing to help.
