Get it checked out: Given your prolonged history of dipping and new onset lesions along the gum line, it would be important to have your mouth examined by a physician in order to determine if further workup and/or biopsy is required.

Examination: Given your medical Hx (tobacco), important that you be examined. Would recommend Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon. Biopsy may be in order.
