It is difficult to comment without seeing the lesion. Please consult a near by oral medicine specialist as the initial diagnosis and confirmation is given by oral medicine specialist and if required biopsy is taken and final conclusion will be done by oral pathologist.

It definitely requires a consultation first. As you give a history of tobacco chewing, we should see this as early as possible for a small tissue test.
Next Steps
Consult your near by dentist first.
Health Tips
Gargle your mouth with Gelusil Liquid.
