Spade,

Typically anything that doesn't heal within 2 weeks should be scrutinized very closely by an expert that know what they are looking at. I personally believe that a head and neck specialists are the experts, whether that be an ENT or an ENT/Oral Surgeon. I would get to a comprehesive cancer care facility. At the very least get you dentist to refer you to an ENT. I would start the balling moving forward so that if the times comes you'll have your appointment and if the lesion heals or better yet falls off that you can simply cancel the appointment.

I'm glad you're asking the questions early. I'm also glad you found us. Keep us posed.
