Only thru a biopsy will the doctor know what they are dealing with. That is probably why they arent giving you their guesses as to what this is. All too often oral cancer is not identified visually.
Hope it turns out to be nothing serious but if it would be cancer you have found the best place for support and info.
Good luck!!!
