Question 1

what to do if i feel like i have candidiasis on my tongue after giving oral sex to a girl?

Accepted Answer

Unlikely: If you are healthy, your own normal oral flora will protect you. In an otherwise healthy individual, the most common cause of an overgrowth of candidiasis ( a normal part of your own oral flora) is prolong use of antibiotics.

Question 2

fungi growing on my back and recently my hairs fall heavily (+dandruff+itch). and possibly oral candidiasis(white tongue wide spots).what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Fungus infection: You need complete check up. Looks like  you have low immunity. Oral candidiasis is common among aids patients. Fungus of the hair is treated with Nizoral or zetar shampoo, skin problem with antifungal cream like lamisil, (terbinafine) Lotrisone or oral antifungal like griseofulvin.

Question 3

possible 1/4" candidiasis spot in tongue, i used nystatin and it disappeared but then it came back while on treatment could it be something else?

Accepted Answer

Thrush: Your question cannot be answered without an examination.  Please return to the dentist that prescribed the medication, or see an  oral surgeon for a complete evaluation and find out what is causing the spot on your tongue.

Question 4

hello i am 20 years old and i have swolen lymph glands in my neck 1.5-2cm large moveable painfull and same size for 3 months. can that be from candidiasis i have in my throat, tongue,mouth for 5 months and also i have psoryasis on my hands and nails.

Accepted Answer

How painful?: If they're really painful, you'd be seeking to take an analgesic, but if they're merely tender (like your testes), these are normal -- they're probably your friends. I'm wondering why a grown man like yourself, with just a bit of psoriasis so far as you have shared, has candida in the mouth. If this is real, have you been checked for diabetes? HIV infection?

Question 5

need some help regarding candidiasis in my mouth?

Accepted Answer

Salt water gargles: It depends on how bad it is - you may need medication - you can prevent it by cleaning your mouth each time you eat and brush your teeth twice a day.

Question 6

can candidiasis occur around the mouth, not in it?

Accepted Answer

Yes : A condition known as angular cheilitis or perleche is a condition where deep cracks or splits occur in the corners of the mouth. Perleche (or angular cheilitis) is caused by the infection of the mouth corners ( labial commissures) by the fungus Candida Albicans or by a bacteria.

Question 7

can candidiasis in the mouth cause harm to the fetus?

Accepted Answer

Not by itself: Candidiasis in the mouth usually results from an underlying immune deficiency like hiv, or other chronic illnesses like diabetes. Those if not adequately controlled can cause harm and should be treated. Once the underlying condition is treated, the oral candidiasis will resolve easily with treatment.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

It is not a: Sexually transmitted disease if that is what you are asking.

Question 10

if you have recurring vaginal candidiasis for years, are you likely to have it in other parts of the body? (such as mouth, eyes, intestines, etc.)

Accepted Answer

Confirmation: Recurrent vaginal candidiasis needs an extensive workup. One should be tested for diabetes and immune system suppression. It is also necessary to confirm that the vaginal infection is in fact yeast. This should be done by fungal culture. Many times people think they have yeast when in reality they have something else.
