A Skin Tag On Tonsil With Some Large Bumps On The Back Of Tongue
I have what feels and looks like a skin tag on my tonsil (the same color as my tonsil, not white), and some large bumps on the back of my tongue. Nothing hurts, but it is touching my uvula and making it very uncomfortable to swallow. What could it be? I'm not sexually active, so it's not HPV.

Hi, skin tags cannot come over thr tonsil.
What you have might be a mucosal fold over the tonsil. And bumps on the back of your tongue are nothing but lymphoid glands which are pinkish in colour. Its a normal structure and cannot be removed. Mucosal tag can be excised consult doctor for this because its better if examine it.
Don't worry of hpv. Take care.
