Biopsy: The only way to know what that is is to have it biopsied. Then youll have your answer and no worries.

Biopsy: Most such lesions turn out to be benign however you really can never be certain without sending it to a pathologist for microscopic examination. A good rule of thumb: if a lesion is changing in size, shape, color, texture, thickness etc, it should be biopsied.
