What Does A Lump Near The Uvula Indicate?

I have a small lump that resembles a skin tag next to my uvula. It’s not painful just slight irritating. It is hanging on by a very thin piece of tissue and moves around easily. I don’t have insurance so any idea of what this might be or how serious it would be is helpful.
