Go to the dentist.
It definitely looks like trauma to the area because of a misaligned wisdom tooth. The wisdom tooth looks tilted back and it looks to be rubbing against the cheek in the back. I would go see your dentist to have a look, but it may require having that wisdom tooth taken out. Hope that helps.
From the picture provided, it could be a combination of two things. First, it could be pericoronitis, this is where the tissue if a newly erupted tooth to the oral cavity gets bacteria between the tissue and the tooth.
