Hi.
When in doubt always go for a second opinion.
The best way is to consult a Surgical oncologist / General Surgeon , get an FNAC done and if negative you do not have to worry.
If you still have doubts and if there is going to be no deformity , get the excision biopsy done.
This is very important to be cured of the ''cancer-phobia.
