That will be the main concern and the first entity to be ruled out with many other benign causes more likely and commonly seen. Seeing your doc and adopting a strategy, either watchful waiting, possible treatment if an immediate source is found, such as a local infection or inflammation or proceeding with further tests and possible excision/ biopsy would be best at this point.

Strongly recommend a complete evaluation by your internist (NOT a GP), along with whatever testing is indicated by the evaluation. Further testing may be indicated or a biopsy may be necessary. If you are a smoker, you should make your appointment today and not wait.
