Unfortunately, it's not possible to take a picture of it given the location inside my mouth. What medical practitioner should I see regarding this issue?
Brief Answer:
Start with your primary care doctor!
Detailed Answer:
HI,
Your primary healthcare doctor should be a good person to start with. I will suggest that you start with him/her and if they are unable to satisfactorily address it, then they would recommend you see an ENT specialist.
I wish you well.
