Hey everyone,

I noticed a white patch on my tonsil area, one slightly bigger spot and a few smaller ones. After looking it up, I thought they might be tonsil stones.

But here’s the thing: they didn’t feel hard like people usually describe. They were kind of soft.

I tried gargling with salt water, and one of the smaller patches disappeared. It left behind a faint white mark on the surface. The bigger one didn’t go away though, so I gently used a Q-tip to massage the area. After that, the lump-like part reduced, but there’s still a visible white patch on the skin.

So now I’m a bit confused, could this still be tonsil stones, or is it something else?

Has anyone experienced something similar?
