Hello doctor,
I have small white and yellow lesions with a red border on my tongue. My tongue also develops a white coating, that has to be scrapped of daily. I have attached a photo of the same. What are the likely causes?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I have gone through your complaint and the attached picture (attachment removed to protect patient identity).
- The blisters on your tongue that look like small white or yellow center lesions with a red border, is most probably due to a fungal infection that occurs in the mouth or throat due to an overgrowth of yeast. It is called as oral candidiasis or oral thrush.
- It can occur due to:
- Weakened immune system.
- Individuals with diabetes.
- People taking inhaled steroids.
- After the use of antibiotics, which may kill good bacteria.
- I suggest you try doing the following.
- Consuming yogurt may restore proper fauna in your mouth.
- Use salt water to rinse your mouth.
- Try using Fluconazole, which is an oral antifungal medication.
- Use Nystatin mouthwash, which is an antifungal mouthwash that you rinse your mouth with and then swallow.
- Please take these medications under the observation of your dentist. Visit your nearby dentist, to confirm the diagnosis. Your doctor may take a biopsy of it.
I hope this answer will help you.
