I had a punch biopsy (small circular 1/8 in. punch) The doctor packed the small hole with a substance that instantly stops the bleeding and I assume any spread of cells. I got two of these in the roof of the mouth back toward the soft palet. It was so small I did not need any stiches. It was annoying for a few days but not that bad and did not stop me from eating what i wanted.
A biopsy is a must in figuring out what it is. I pray your problem is not cancer.
