Oral / Dental Health :: Cold Sores / Canker Sores
I get cold sores 3 times a year and 2 canker sores a year. Why do they hurt so much. I think it's because they are infected. Why do they last so long too ? Should you pick at the cold sores on your lips just to get the scab to heal ?
View 1 RepliesLupus :: Mouth Sores?
I'm not Dx but a quick history-for 5 yrs I've had flares of neuropathy-stinging bee sensations that jump around, muscle twitching all over body. Also beau's lines on nail and blood lines under fingernails. At times I get livedo reticularis on my thighs when in hot sun. Also have bouts of mild pancreatitis. Not sure if its related.
Lately I've been getting little sores on the back of my cheeks-usually one or two a week. they don't hurt but I find it odd
Does any if this sound like lupus?
HIV :: Recurrent Mouth Sores?
I had an exposure around 3 months ago, I got a rapid blood finger-prick test at around six weeks and a little more, and it came back negative. However, starting from this month, I kept having mouth ulcers in my mouth,they are small, I'm getting a new one maybe like a week or so, then it goes away about a week. It's been a month and i have a new mouth ulcer each week after the old one heal.
My question is, how much can I trust my 6 weeks rapid test? I know its not conclusive and I'm getting another test soon, but just really wanna know its accuracy.
Also, is keep having mouth ulcers related to HIV?? is it damaging my immune system and cause such situation?

I get mouth sores quite frequently, and observed that whenever I get them it ends with some specific stomach conditions, ultimately when that condition clears by passing stool with large amount of mucus, sores start shrinking, and keep on drinking water and urinating, sores literally vanish in ours.

Two weeks ago I had sex with this guy, and gave him a little oral, surprise surprise he never called me back again. Then on Saturday I had sex with this guy a couple times and I have him oral, and he gave me oral, down to my anus (tmi).
I had no symptoms or anything until this past Monday when my clitoris started itching and my butt was sore like when I wear thongs too much. Then it started burning and I went to the doctor and I have a UTI and blisters amd ulcers down there. Possibly herpes.. Also, my monroe piercing in my mouth got infected Monday and I had to take it out. My lip is swollen with pus and I have a white bump on the side of my tongue and a sore throat.

View 1 RepliesChronic Mouth Sores - Inflammation Throughout Digestive Tract
I have had an issue of painful mouth sores for well over a year. They appear in my cheeks, the sides of my tongue and my gums below my front teeth. Today my tongue feels very raw. I have seen a Dentist, Periodontist, Endocrinologist, Rheumatologist, Oncologist and gastroenterologist as well as my family doctor over the past year. I have GI problems that have led me to some of these doctors but I have discussed the mouth problems with every one of them and no one can help me! On Tuesday I had a CT scan of my abdomen and pelvis looking for a tumor because of some troubling results from numerous blood tests. They did not find a tumor but found spots on my liver. I will return on June 24th and 25th for an MRI of my kidney and pancreas plus a test where they will put a tube with a tiny camera down my throat to look around. I was told that I have inflammation all throughout my digestive system. It is the oncologist that is ordering these tests because he's still concerned in spite of the good CT scan. He is the only doctor that I didn't really discuss the mouth sores with and I'm wondering if all the GI tract issues that I have couldn't be the same thing that is causing my mouth sores? Like some acid or something my body is producing that is causing it. Oh, I left one doctor out, I don't even remember his specialty but he did a biopsy on my mouth and that was clear. Do any of these symptoms together ring a bell with anyone? Also has anyone had a successful prescription or home remedy to heal or at least relieve the pain from these sores?

View 1 RepliesHallucinogens Addiction :: Adderall Causing Mouth Sores And Swollen Throat?
So I am no stranger to adderall. I first got prescribed it when I was in high school (I am almost 23 now), but I have only taken it on and off, never more than maybe a couple months at a time. I'm really bad at staying consistent with medications. I started a new job a month ago in which I work 10 hours and have to be able to focus at all times so I went back to a psych and got prescribed adderall again. I started out at 20mg and it was just too much, it was giving me horrible anxiety. So I got reduced down to 10 mg, which was fine and all but it wasn't lasting as long as I needed it to, so I asked to get switched to 10mg time release capsules. Those have been great, and I only take them on days I work, although again I have been kind of on and off with it. I have taken it about 3 days in a row now and I've noticed my throat feels kind of swollen (doesn't hurt though), sometimes it is hard to swallow when I am laying down and my tongue has that feeling like after you burn it from drinking something really hot (but I haven't burned it from what I can remember). I've also noticed the inside corners of my mouth feel a little tender. Could this be caused by the adderall? I tried to do some google research and it said it could be allergies and the changing of the weather but I've never had something like this happen before due to allergies.

View 1 RepliesOral Lichen Planus Can Lead To Cancer? Cheek Sores With White Lines
I think I have Oral Lichen Planus but I can't get a doctor to confirm it. I have had mouth sores in my cheek area since 2009 and now my gums are very red and inflamed and have been told that I have white lines on my inside cheek area. When I go to a dentist to have my teeth cleaned, I am always turned away because they don't like the looks of my mouth sores. In 2013 I had doctor swab my mouth and send for testing and also did blood work but was told nothing showed up. I think she was looking for bacterial infection. In the mean time, I continue with a very sore mouth.
I have a hard time eating anything because the sores are next to my bottom back teeth so eating irritates the sores a lot at night I sometimes bite the area with sores due to swelling so they pretty much never heal.
I recently went to a new dentist and she too wouldn't work on my teeth but she gave me details as to her concerns and told me to get checked for an Auto Immune disorder. I have since been to a doctor and had blood taken to check for that and then they sent me to ENT. He mentioned Oral Lichen Planus which was the first time I have heard of it. He wants to do a biopsy and then he mentioned a steroid rinse.
I also researched OLP and I have all the symptoms listed so I just don't understand how going to doctors since 2010 about the mouth sores, no one can figure it out? Am I finally heading in the right directions for diagnosis? I scares me that it has been left un treated for 5 years when I read that sometimes those with OPL can lead to mouth cancer.
