We do not have years of medical school, clinical patient experience or any other special medical training. I suggest seeking out a doctor who specializes in treating ear, nose and throat (ENT) patients, specifically oral cancer. Any spot or lesion anyone has in their mouth that does not heal on its own with 2-3 weeks should be checked by a professional. By professional I mean an ENT or equally trained specialist such as an oral surgeon. Only a biopsy will tell you for certain exactly what it is in your mouth. Hopefully its nothing serious.
