Can't tell: Could be, or maybe not. You need to see your family doc or perhaps an ENT specialist. If you use tobacco in any form or abuse alcohol, please quit today. Best to you.

Yes it can: if it does not go or if it gets bigger or if it bothers you- you would need to go to your doctor or dentist to get checked. then if it looks suspicious your MD or dentist can refer you to see oral surgeon for a biopsy.

My Palatopharyngeal Arch touches uvula on one side and I feel like food is stuck in mouth and nose. It doesn't always feel like the 'food' is in the same place. Could this cause this feeling and should be concerned. This has been for about 5 weeks?

I noticed 2 small flesh colored lumps on my palatopharyngeal arch right next to my right tonsil. Not hard or hurt either. Is it serious? Thank you.

Noticed that my left palatopharyngeal arch is red, can see the veins, slightly more swollen than my right side. Feels a bit irritated, too, but not terrible. I've never looked back there before - but can allergies cause this?
