Hi! I read your query.
You should not wait a long 8 months time with a ulcer.
I strongly recommend you to immediately go for a biopsy. You can consult a oral pathologist for this.
You did not mention the rough size or pain with the lesion.
Quit any oral habits like tobacco and alcohol.
Make sure there is no sharp tooth or a old unclean denture.
Maintain proper oral hygiene.
Regards
