Could be tonsil stone. Best if you can go to an ENT to get it looked at. From the pic, your tonsil looks scarred though, possibly from repeated infections.

And all this shit started my freshman year in college . . . . . . . . you know 'meeting' new people and what not.

Make sure you let the ENT know about this too during medical examination.Good luck!

Yes, it is not tonsil stone, it looks like pus (abscess)!
go to ENT with this pictures because most of old aged doctors have lost some of their sense of smell and vision, it maybe a peritonsillar abscess...

I had something similar in my tonsil, it looked like a stone but no matter how much prodding it wouldn't budge. And speaking from experience your tonsils don't look too good.

Hi stankie,
I had exactly same thing on me a year ago...after meeting someone..It accompanies with sore throat and hoarseness.
I went to GP and she said hpv can't be tested on that area.
I don't remember if I had a hpv blood test. Anyway, I was persuaded that's not std related.
So I went to my ENT, he said it looks like a mucoseal, and quickly removed it. It seems not coming back again.

I'm very horrified right nowas just now out of curiosity I looked in the mirror and found at least 2 similar lesions on the back of my throat!!!

What did the doctor say to you? What is your diagnosis and treatment?
I have to go see doctor as well ASAP!!!

I had a similar thing on my other tonsil recently, which cleared after a week or two. It gave me a sore throat and some ear pain. I think it may be staph, since that can live in the throat as well.
I know my ex was tested for HPV and she didn't have it, so that makes me a little more comfortable about it.

I'm scared of oral hpv as you mentioned.
I feel something's stucking in my throat and got bad breath these days, which I don't always have. I guess I must developed tonsil stones but these stuff are under the skin and can not be poked out. It has been more than one year since I found it the first time. I'm so scared cause the first time the doctor can't tell whats it and treated it as a mucocele.
What are oral hpv like? I'm scared to death now!!

Doctors are useless. IMO.

Staph in the throat is common. I had a few 'strep throat' cases in the past I was convinced were actually staph. The two can be mistaken, and some people are 'carriers' for staph in their throat.

Maybe your doctor will be different. ?? Let us know. . . . .
