Any sore(lesion) or growth like you have described needs to be checked by a dentist or a head/Neck specialist who will likely biopsy it or excise it completely. It could be Leucoplakia(Precancer) and it is best to get it removed by a surgeon.

I suggest you see an oral surgeon for an evaluation and possible biopsy.
