White spot
 Login/Join

Hey:

I have a couple of concerns relating to a white spot that I have noticed at the back of my throat/mouth near my tonsils. I first noticed a feeling of something small lingering in the back of my throat that I could not swallow.

Today after having a good look around in there I noticed the spot which has an ulcer type appearence to it; however there is no pain. The spot is approx 4 - 5 mm in size and from the sensation I have appears to be rough or hard on the surface.

can any one shed some light on what this might be ????

Regards
Ryan

Hi Ryan, I would suggest you see your doctor as soon as poss and get it checked out. I'm sure it's not a problem but you should get it looked at by a proffesional sooner than later.

Hello Ryan

Please see your doctor if you are concerned about any thing that feels/looks abnormal. Better foolish than sorry. Let us know how you get on.

Best wishes
