Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
You have history of tobacco chewing. So there is high chance of cancer. You have ulcer it may be leukoplakia, simple hyperkeratosis or squamous cell carcinoma. You should go for punch biopsy of that ulcer. It will give you exact diagnosis.
Then you should take treatment accordingly.
