Hello,

I can understand your concern. The back of the throat can very in color from person to person depending on the blood supply, prominence of blood vessels, melanin pigmentation, eating and drinking habits etc. So having different pinks and yellowish in some areas is normal. If you are not having any discomfort or pain in the throat or back of mouth, you do not need to worry so much regarding the color.

I hope this answer clears your doubts. Thank you for choosing HealthcareMagic. Let me know if you have follow up questions.

Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
