When I returned CONUS, I made a doc visit and had it removed and it turned out to be pre-cancerous, whatever that means. I stopped chewing on the spot and hadn't even thought about it until I recently started again 2 months ago. My excuse is work stress but I know what it will lead to.
Good luck with yours.
