Hello! Read your query.
This hard lesion can be due to a sharp tooth or habits involving tobacco use.
I suggest you to wait till the biopsy result comes and do not panic.
This can be a dysplasia or precancerous lesion of the mucous membrane.
Make sure he does not irritate the area.
Maintain proper oral hygiene.
Avoid spicy food.
Regards.
