Gum Pain: Possible Disease?

I'm not sure if this is normal looking or not but It's painful. The area on my gum above the tooth and just below the part of the gum that forms the crevice is very sore and causes pain even when I'm not touching it. It seems kind of sunken in and a sort of deep red color. I'm not sure if this is how it's supposed to look, but either way it's painful? Advice? Is it a gum disease, and if so will I need surgery?

Periodontal disease is a quiet disease and not painful until it is in its last stages. Please see a periodontist for the same. The painful area could be some kind of viral or stress related condition and should resolve in a week and if not see a dentist or periodontist. Temporary relief in the form of topical anesthesia will help especially before eating as good nutrition is equally important.
