Tiny, rough Bumps in back of mouth

[Toothhelp]

Hi,

currently unable to get a dentist appointment as covid means emergencies only.

I noticed these flesh bumps in the back of my mouth yesterday (on the first arch). There’s around 4 of them and they’re tiny, about the size of a pic prick each. However they feel rough. Any idea what they are? Could it be warts?

They look like small mucocele/mucous retention cysts. Since they are very small, they usually resolve on their own.

Hello doc.can you pls help with your opinion pls,so my story:have acid reflux for 2 years and since then my foliate papillae are inflamate because of the reflux,but in January I have observed a tiny little white patch on my foliate papillae,it didn't got bigger,but it's not disappeared still have it.Ent says it's nothing to worry,but I'm so scared it could be something bad

I agree with the ENT. It doesn't look sinister. Most likely it is inflammation. Get your acid reflux controlled because it can cause a lot of damage.

Yes,but what about the little white patch on the foliate papillae?If is inflammation isn't suppose to go away?Because is there for 3 months now

I believe the white patch is normal. As long as it is not callous like (hyperkeratinized tissue), you are ok.
