What Causes Raised White Spot On Tonsillar Pillar With History Of Uvula Cancer?
I recently noticed a raised white spot on left tonsil pillar - it s been three weeks, with no change. I ve been treated for cancer of the uvula and right lateral tongue over the past 7 years. My dr didn t see anything on my last visit at that time... it s clearly still there. Please advise. THANK YOU.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
As per your details, it could be candid patch( fungal infection common in cancer patients) or ulcer due to some infection.
Naked eye examination and biopsy will rule out the lesion. kindly evaluate.
Hope, I have answered your query, all the best, take care.
