Needs clinical evaluation. As there are many pre cancerous conditions. Main reason is tobacco consumption in any form. First is to stop taking tobacco. Second is close follow up. Multivitamins should help. Surgery might cause scarring at the site and there might be functional disturbance. Surgery is suggested only when it is suspicious or proven cancer. Please consult a good surgeon.
