thanks for your query.
Flesh coloured lump above tonsil suggest two possibilities either infective granulations or malignant mass.
Better to consult ENT specialist and examined.
I think better to go for punch biopsy of it and treat accordingly.
You dont have to worry as now a days we have so many options and treatment modalities for it.
Thanks, take care.
