Hi,

I really appreciate your concern, differential diagnosis would be matter of concern here in your case and it need to be ruled out for viral infection, and malignancy, you have not mentioned the site of lesion in mouth some time it matters the great. In my opinion biopsy will clear the picture, it is also advisable to rule out the malabsorption syndrome, folic acid deficiency.

Hope this information helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.
