What test?: The kind of lesion you described can result from varying underlying disorders, e.g., vitamin deficiency, HIV, and auto-immune disorders. Talking about cure can only be addressed after the cause of the lesion is established. It would be prudent to follow your doctor's advice. Wish you good health!
