Oral lesion: She should consult a physician to determine what it is. Any new, changing or persistent lesion (especially if concerning to the patient) should be evaluated by a physician.

Spec: The rule of thumb is that any oral lesion that does not completely clear in 14 days from onset should be evaluated. Please see an oral health expert, a Dentist, to begin the diagnostic process.
