Vallexular cyst?
Apparently i have some kind of sphere like cyst on the left of epiglottis, not visible normally but i can manipulate that area and push it a bit forward. Then it's visible. Like a pea sized thing.
I am too afraid to visit local ENT as i am afraid of cancer. This thing has been there since more than a year and caused no symptoms. I am extremely scared as I have health anxiety. Please guide me.
Attached a picture, i couldn't take a better picture cause it's difficult.
Please guide me, i don't smoke or drink or eat tobacco. I am prone to allergies tho and have a history of throat infections since my childhood.
What is the chances of this being cancer. I am crying badly out of fear :(

Hello..Chances of maligancy in Vallecular cyst is rare,so no need to be anxious.Get an endoscopic evaluation and you can get a surgical excision of the cyst done based on it's findings.
