Welcome to the forum, you've come to the right place for your questions. I hear you about going from one doctor to another. You need to see an Oral Surgeon.
I had a tumor growing on the side of my tongue it was painful, it started to bleed and grow under my tongue by the time I got to a Cancer Center.
Go to an Oral Surgeon asap find one who will take a biopsy. There is nothing to a biopsy, I'm being honest. I'm the biggest baby and afraid of needles, I close my eyes. He'll freeze it and scrap a little off to send to the lab. I had a couple of stitches and they dissolve.
Take care and Good Luck keep us posted.
