CPAP User noticed Growth or Small Bumps on my Uvula

I am a CPAP user and noticed after 2 years a growth or a 3rd Uvula was forming. I watched it for awhile thinking it was inflamed tissue, but this morning I looked at it and it looks like White Clear Sponge type bubbles on the left side of my Uvula. I need to make an appointment with my ENT, but if you have the same thing and have already seen a doctor, let me know what he says. I wouldn't mind them cutting this thing out....but Im looking for options.

Impossible to say without examination, but my money is on this being a papilloma (from human papilloma virus) - basically a wart on your uvula.  These can be removed in the office, if desired.
