I have blister on the inside of my cheek.  It hits the eye tooth on
the bottom.  I've had it for about two weeks.  It is small and appears
to have a clear fluid inside.

It breaks and feels fine for a couple of days and then comes back.
Breaks, comes back.......etc.

Is there something I can do to encourage it to heal?

thanks

    Almost certainly a small mucocoele (mucous retention cyst)--small ones
are very common inside the lower lip.  Usually they eventually heal by
themselves.  Larger ones have to be removed.

Whoops !

Answered before seeing your response.
Recurrent ones are bothersome and are easily removed.

    I get them fairly frequently--very small.  Mark has had one surgically
removed--no big deal.

Sounds like a mucocele (mucous cyst)

Easily treated.

Get thee to a dentist !
