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.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
After the bacterial infection or during the course of infection the looks of the adenoid glands greatly changes, like colour, size , looks, that remains like that only without any clinical symptoms, and this is nothing to worry, I hope this could be your answer, have nice day.
