What Is The Cause Of Pimple Like Bump Near My Palatopharyngeal Arch?

Greetings, Myself Gurmeet from chandigarh. I checked my tonsils in the mirror and noticed a pimple like bump near my palatopharyngeal arch. When I pressed it with finger, it comes out. It is white & hard like pimple. I am feeling this from last 5 months. But now this pimple formation is frequent after removing by finger. There is no pain in my mouth. But I want to know the cause that why it is happening. Kindly Please mail me at YYYY@YYYY Thanks & regards

Hello and welcome to HCM,
A hard swelling near palato-pharyngeal arch could be an infectious, inflammatory, or neoplastic lesion.
Is there any history of pain or discharge from the swelling?
If yes, then probably this is an infectious or inflammatory lesion.
I would suggest you to consult an ENT specialist for clinical examination and relevant investigations.
A biopsy of the lesion will help to determine the origin and nature of the lesion and thus further management.

Thanks and take care
