Possible Diagnoses for Spotting at the Back of the Throat Posted: 01-17-06 10:50am
I have spots on the flap of skin between
my tongue in the back and where it
connects to the tonsils. They only hurt
once in a while. They have been there for
about 1 month. They look like little
pimples, any suggestions?

It is difficult for me to say what it is
because a physician requires a
physical/visual examination of mucosal
changes before proper diagnosis. The
spots, however, are probably an infection
of the oral cavity. You can visit an
ENT-specialist for a thorough examination.
