Pimples in mouth and Throat

For the last year or so I have had these pinpoint size pimples in my mouth and throat. I went to see two ENT's and neither one of them knew what they were or what was causing them. They took swabs and they came back normal. They tried antibiotics and they are still there. They even gave me an inhaler and nothing. The pimples are still there. One ENT said, maybe I should have my tonsils taken out and the other ENT said, my tonsils were fine. These things just popped up over night and I can't get rid of them. They feel like sandpaper in the back of my throat and seem to flare up worse about a half hour after I eat. I do have Barrett's Esopahgus and GERDS, but I have been taking Nexium 40mg twice a day for the past two years. If anyone has any answers or ideas they would be greatly appreciated. The only thing that both ENT's agreed on was that it wasn't throat cancer.

It's possible these are herpes (HSV2) infections.

Why don't you see a dermatologist ?
