Problem
Recently I went to the doctor, when I had a feeling like something was caught in my throat, and he said it was nothing and that the white lumps in my mouth are nothing to worry about.
However, under my tonsil there is another lump directly below it, that is a little bit smaller than the tonsil itself.
It along with the white patches has me really worried as I dipped tobacco heavily for two years and just recently quit. about the middle of February.

Okay, do I feel stupid now
Turns out that they are just the tonsil, I have always had enlarged/ abnormally shaped tonsils on one side, since I was small, I cheked the color of the "lump" and it looks exactly like the tonsil on the other side.

Also I forgot to add that when I put my finger down there... I know... bad, it feels like they are one mass (the tonsil and the lump) but when I look at it, it has two lumps.
