What Causes Crypts On Tonsils Which Are Painful And Red In Color?

Skin tag on tonsil. Not a stone or crypt. Not painful or red, nothing like a zit, not filled with any fluid. Not discolored, skin colored. No odor. Similar shaped to a finger: longer than wide. soft and flexible. Any ideas what it could be, or concerning? The other tonsil did have a stone, which I removed, and both have crypts.
