Brief Answer:
Go for biopsy of the lesion
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your complaints.
It could be leukoplakia but the change in colour should be taken seriously.
I would recommend you to consult either a dermatologist or an ENT surgeon and go for biopsy of the lesion as this will tell the exact cause of the lesion.
