A biopsy is the only way to tell for sure if its concerous. One thing that should ease your mind is that for some reason most cancerous sores are not painful. Mine didnt hurt at all and I had it in 2 places and then a recurrance,not one of those hurt. Hope it turns out to be nothing. best of luck tomorrow.
