Keratosis pharyngis in throat wall

2018-05-08 14:09:21
The white spot is not on the tonsils but in the throat wall at the back side... So can keratosis pharyngis occure at the back on  the throat wall? I am attaching pictures to show the location... Can keratosis pharyngis occure in this place as in the picture? Is it normal can it be in throat wall it's not on the tonsils that is what worries me.. Can it occure in throat wall?
