ENT specialist: It's reassuring that an Otolaryngologist examined you and felt that the pimple like object was nothing serious. However if the area in question persists or increases, there is nothing wrong with asking for another evaluation

Second Opinion: If concerned it's a good idea to talk to more than one doctor. More than 50% of all doctor office visits are for ENT problems. Some ENT specialists limit their practices to one of super-specialty area. ENT's inclinations are important and many time a second opinion helps to conclude at a correct diagnosis.

Pimple: Probably "fine," just as the ENT said. May be a benign growth that will always be there. If you are uncomfortable with its presence, or if you begin to notice symptoms (growth, sensitivity, color change, bleeding, etc) have it reevaluated. A second opinion, by the way, is never out of order. You might want to ask an Oral and Maxillo-Facial Surgeon to take a look.
