hello,
I have gone through the description and the lesion is indeed to small to get a biopsy. The available option is to get a Ultrasound screen every month or once in two months to monitor the size of the lesion and biopsy it if it increases in size( biopsy will be possible then)
hope this helps
do get back in case you have further queries
