No: It is a bony projection form the palate and normal. Wish you good health! - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Drink enough water daily, so that your urine is mostly colorless. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex, if you have sex.

Have it checked: The soft palate is entirely soft tissue, no bone. Probably not of major concern, but any white lesions in the mouth of more than 2 weeks duration should be immediately evaluated. Please see an Oral Surgeon or an ENT.
