I definitely have this too. I brought it to my ENT's attention and he just described it as 'local inflammation'. Ok that didn't help me much. It still didn't seem like it should be there. I have had it there as well for almost a year and it changes appearance as well. Sometimes it's barely noticeable and sometimes it's large (like these past few days VERY noticeable.) I, too have wondered if it's a tonsil stone trying to get out but can't. It's on the surface of the tonsil though not coming from a crypt, i didn't know they could do that. ??
