By professional, I mean either an oral surgeon or an ENT who specialize in oral cancer. Many dentists focus only on teeth and not on mouth tissue problems.
Im very sorry but even with a photo its highly unlikely anyone here would be able to help diagnose you. Our group is made up of oral cancer survivors and caregivers, not medical professionals. Find yourself an ENT who's specialty is oral cancer patients and they should be able to help you. A biopsy will probably need to be done to determine exactly what is going on.
Hope its nothing serious! Best wishes.
