Anyone here get tonsil stones?

Asked by tan253 (2948points) October 4th, 2016

Hi All,
Anyone here get tonsil stones. I’ve got what I think is one but I’m worried it might be throat cancer. I can’t scrape it away at all. It looks like it’s under the skin? Can that happen?
If I push it, it dissapears but then comes back up? Now I’m seeing another one under the skin as well – not sure that is how they grow?

It smells like a gross tonsil stone but then I’ve heard that tonsil cancer smells too. I’ve been to two doctors and they both say it doesn’t look like cancer but could be an inclusion cyst, however, it’s not round or protruding out of my tonsil. For all intensive purposes it looks like a tonsil stone and smells like one but I can’t actually get at it, it’s like it’s under a thin layer of tissue – can this happen?
