Any lesion that persists in the mouth for more than two weeks needs to be evaluated by a dentist or Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon. This is important even if you are not having any symptoms or pain.
There are countless text book devoted to the hundreds of possibilities for lesions in the mouth. It is impossible to render an opinion without a clinical examination, history and possibly radiographs.
