Only a proper clinical examination can help me reach a diagnosis. As it is a painless lesion, you have all the more reason to worry. Please meet a Head & Neck Oncosurgeon at your nearest Cancer Hospital(?Tata). If you can make it to Bangalore, drop in to my clinic where I can personally help you out.
