Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
First of all I like to inform you that not every lesions need to be treated. Since the lesion is present over the last three years and there is no malignant pattern noted in biopsy it can be left without any intervention.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
