Hello,
A detailed evaluation is required to rule out malignancy ( cancerous change). Consult a general surgeon and plan for a fine needle biopsy to make a diagnosis:
Once the diagnosis is confirmed surgical correction is required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
