A small painless white patch on throat

Question

Asked for Male, 20 Years

1-2 weeks ago I discovered a a small painless white patch on my throat. Two years ago I had my tonsils removed and the patch is exactly where the white scars were after the tonsilectomy, on the right side. It is maybe 3-4 mm large and has not changed since I discovered it. I do not think I suffer any other symptoms. I am 20 years old and have been smoking and drinking for the last 5 years regularly.
