What Causes Small Bumps On Palatopharyngeal Arch?

Hello, I noticed a small flesh colored bump on my palatopharyngeal arch and it has been there for several months now. It is painless, but I get sore throats several times a year and my tonsils are in rough shape as a result of the recurrent infections. The bump is not on my tonsils, but it has me a little worried. Is there any reason for me to get it biopsied or could it be something less harmful? Thanks! Mae
