You seem to be looking at granulation in your posterior pharyngeal wall which usually occurs in chronic smokers because of persistent irritation. Usually it will. Resolve on its own and if asymptomatic does not require any treatment. It will regress after few months
Next Steps
Consult nearby ENT specialist for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
