ORAL THRUSH - Candidiasis or yeast infection. Angular cheilitis ©

Candidiasis is caused by the fungus Candida albicans. It can occur in the elderly population with complete or removable prostheses. If the hygienic conditions are not adequate, fungi can develop on the mucous membranes below the prosthesis, as it is an ideal environment for them, due to the humidity and temperature conditions.

It is also common that, due to the use of systemic antibiotics, there is a superinfection by this fungus due to the alteration of the bacterial flora of the body. The Candida fungus is present in the mouth and digestive tract of many of us, something that is considered normal if it does not grow excessively. Normally, a good immune system and certain bacteria considered "beneficial" regulate the amount of this fungus in our body.

This infection is also common in babies and infants. It is important that the bottles and pacifiers used by the babies are properly disinfected to prevent the proliferation of these fungi. Candidiasis usually manifests itself as white patches on the tongue or inside the cheeks that break off when rubbed and leave the area red. Treatment usually consists of rinsing with an antifungal.

The mouth sores or angular cheilitis are frequently present in the population of older adults who suffer a decrease in the vertical dimension, due to the loss of teeth, which allows the mouth to be excessively closed. These lesions are often superinfected with the Candida albicans fungus.

Last i checked you are supposed to swallow the Nystatin since the fungus could have spread down the system. Also i havnt seen any instructions of mixing it with water.

I have oral thrush for an year. ( age 23). When i use mouth wash, it gone away. But it came again. Now mouth wash and paste are not working for it. What can i do?

[raybubblegum]

Hi Doc, I have two painless lesions in the corners of the inside of my upper lip. There is no itching or burning of any kind at all. I’ve had them for a 13 months now. Tried taking all sorts of medication but it hasn’t gotten rid of them. I’m really scared and would like you to help me understand what’s going on. Maybe we can chat through WhatsApp and I can send you the videos of them. Thanks

I'm suffering from white lessions inside my mouth (on tongue, oral mucosa, and lip corners) but these are painless. No itching, no burning observed. All this started with a small lesion on tongue, it gradually spread in my whole mouth excluding palate. Since 1 week, similar white lesion is also seen on my can you say about my condition?
