white spot in the tonsil tissue
Hello,
I am 42 years old, female, and have had a milky-white spot on the upper edge of my left tonsil for about 6 months.
I noticed the spot because after previous tonsillitis I often have to deal with tonsil stones, which I manually remove on the advice of my ENT. Today I had that feeling of pressure on the tonsil again, as if there was a large tonsil stone inside. However, there was no tonsil stone, instead I noticed that the white spot had enlarged, about 3 mm in diameter. It cannot be manually removed, scraped off or squeezed out, it is firmly embedded in the tissue. Now I am terribly worried that it could be tonsil cancer.
I am attaching a photo for you. The bloody spot next to the white spot occurred today when I tried to move it and is not normally there.
What do you think, and how quickly should I go to the doctor?
Thank you for your help!
Annika Müller
