See your doctor: These symptoms can only be adequately diagnosed only after a thorough evaluation by your doctor. This may include labs and other satudies. Once all of the information is in, your doctor can let you know what's going on, and what to do to help you.

See dermatologist: Who will be able to permanantly remove it. Without, actually seeing the lesion one must realize there are growths which are benign and there are those that are malignant or cancerous. Hence the dermatologist will not only be able to differentiate but can get rid of the problem for you.

Find a new dentist: If you know or fear that he is no longer able to provide you with the care that you need, then you owe it to yourself to find someone who can. This extends to the philosophy of treatment, diagnostic abilities, and the rendering of care. Is he /the office current in the newer technologies for the diagnosis and treatment you need. Is he current with the newer types of restorative options.
