White, painful lump on roof of mouth

Hi All

I woke this morning and a small area of the roof of my mouth was painful to touch or swallow, otherwise I wouldn't know it was there. I had a look and noticed a small patch of the roof of my mouth was red and looked sore. There also seemed to be a small white spot centred in the middle of the red patch. As the day has gone on the pain has stayed the same, but the majority of the red patch now seems to have changed white. I've not been unwell, and no new symptoms to tell of, haven't had a cough or cold, temperature is fine. I have been diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and CFS, so always have a sense of feeling generally unwell, but I don't feel any different to any other day, just this painful, white lump that has developed.

Does anyone have any ideas of what this could be, or experienced this themselves, and is there anything I can do, or should do to treat it

Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks
