Please understand this group is made up of OC survivors and caregivers, we are not medical professionals. Even with a photo there isnt any one of us who could diagnose you over the internet.
It could be any number of things. Only thru a biopsy can the doc be certain what it is. An experience ENT or oral surgeon might be able to give you a well educated guess, but its still a guess unless they do a biopsy. Try not to get too far ahead of yourself. Its not cancer until a biopsy says it is. Thats one of our sayings around here. I would suggest seeking out an ENT who specializes in OC and getting them to give you a thorough exam.
Hopefully it will be nothing serious. Good luck!!!
