Either it is a nevo or melanoma, according to the specialist. What is a nevo? and is it possible to just have it out of the blue?

Hello,
Nevus may be a benign condition and won't get harm. Other possibilities like tonsillar stone or infection followed by food particles accumulation may appear like this.
Please consult your oral pathologist, he/she will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
