I understand your concern regarding your skin problem and I hope I am able to help you in the same.

I have seen in the treatment history that you have been adequately treated for the same but the lesion is still persisting .
In such a case ,my advise would be that you should discuss the option of mucosal biopsy with your treating doctor . This will help in reaching a final diagnosis and ruling out any major problems .
