Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have history of tobacco and non healing ulcer. So there is hgh chance of having squamous cell carcinoma. You should go for punch biopsy of that lesion and go for histopathological examination. It will give you exact diagnosis. whether it is cancer or not.
Then you should take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
