Red patches on the tongue
Should I see an ENT doctor or oral maxillofacial surgeon for this?
Have this red patches on top of the tongue back side for an year now. Since March 2022.
It's painful and sore constantly.
Do I need to get a biopsy? Does it look cancerous since I have it for more than an year.
Is this something serious? I am so worried and anxious about it.
Whom to see further for this.

Yes consult an ENT and head &neck surgeon. Needs proper examination and biopsy for accurate diagnosis. Since it's there for an year , it's unlikely to be a malignancy. But can't rule out without biopsy.

You may need to see a dentist first as a tooth bite can also cause this lesion. Of the two options you asked, both are trained to help you, though an Oral maxillofacial surgeon may be a better person to handle your case.
