Swollen Part Of Mouth. STD? Parasite?

For the last 10 years Ive had this lump in the roof of my mouth that comes and goes every 1-2 months. If i remember, it started after having sex as a teen. It's not really painful. More bothersome. Its a long lump near the teeth. Always near the teeth, never at the top of the mouth roof. I usually start washing my mouth with Hydrogen Peroxide when it happens and it's usually gone in a week. Can it be a parasite? Some type of std? I've gone to std clinics years ago and always came out negative. Any help? If you click on the link, I posted a picture, so you could get a better idea what it looks like: http://www.99centdrumkits.com/mouth.JPG

meant would be an issue for 10 years in the mouth, not linger.

nothing std related would linger for 10 years.

don't use peroxide - it's non-chlorine bleach and does more harm than good!!

we don't look at pictures here either. why not is explained in our read before posting post on the forum.

If you go regularly to the dentist. you can show this bump next time you are there for better answers.
