I'm so glad you posted pictures. It's nice to rule out the nasty stuff like CL and bottle jaw, and it doesn't look like the right place for a tooth abcess either. Hopefully it keeps going down on its own, but if there's a thorn or splinter there it will probably turn into a hard abcess and will need to be drained and the object removed. Often the splinter comes out when you drain the abcess and you never even see it.
