Question 1

facial neck skin condition biopsy no bacteria fungus  raised bumps around eyes temples sides  face brow scalp mouth chin  excretes  build up of sebum brownish and thickens 10 yrs. no meds help at all?

Accepted Answer

Plugged ducts: The sebum is plugging the ducts. Change the oil. This is  a systemic problem.  Look at your life style. What are you eating? Avoid tobacco, alcohol, and junk food. Juice fresh vegetables each day,  and eat plenty of fresh vegetables. Avoid fatty foods.  Try coconut oil which is never stored as fat. Avoid processed butter substitutes, nuts, and other processed oils. Try  cold pressed olive oil.

Question 2

recurrent sore throat,purulent lesion (1 or 2) on one or both tonsils.no bacteria or fungi detected by lab tests (done twice).no fever.what can it be?

Accepted Answer

Mono?: Hopefully mono has been checked, though you didn't mention viral tests. Also, even if it is not mono there are mono like illnesses we can't (or don't routinely) check for.

Question 3

what do you advise if i had a fungus in my throat and it took me 6 months to cure the infection?

Accepted Answer

Throat: Best to see your doctor to find out why you got the fungs. Was it from antibiotics? Is your immune system ok. Was it from other meds you were taking. Was the diagnoses made with culture? Sometimes taking a probiotic after may help

Question 4

can fungus on my to nail cause yeast to multiple in my throat.  i had a throat culture done and it showed that i had over growth of yeast. please help?

Accepted Answer

No: The fungii that cause nail fungal infection (trichophyton and epidemophytum) are different than yeast infection of the throat (candidia). However if you are prone to opportunistic infection (suppressed immune system, etc) you are more likely to get both but the spread of the nail to the throat is extremely unlikely. I hope you are seeing your pcp for these matters to monitor your overall health.

Question 5

im taking terbinafine for a toenail fungus. now my throat don't hurt anymore. did i have a fungus in my throat too that i didn't know about?

Accepted Answer

Fungus: Toenail fungus is usually a result of athlete's feet and there should be no relation to throat involvement. I doubt that you had a fungal throat infection. Yeast infections of the mouth are usually obvious with white patches and are not seen in the absence of high blood sugar, corticosteroid medications or spray, immunodeficiency state or taking antibiotics. See your MD if throat discomfort recurs

Question 6

taking terbinafine for toenail fungus.ive noticed my throat feeling better, is it clearing up a fungus or infection in my throat too? had them before.

Accepted Answer

Not aware: I don't know why your throat improves with this drug . Even assuming that you have a yeast infection at your throat, the drug you take for your nails is not expected to work on yeast infection.

Question 7

daily, for 3 yrs, i cough up thick, sticky, mucus that looks like mold or fungus... it's constant always in the back of my throat. chest x-ray normal?

Accepted Answer

Post nasal drip: Your problem is not in your lungs, it is either in your nose or sinuses. Get tested for allergies and checked for chronic sinusitis. See an allergist.

Question 8

had hpv since dec 2016. had sex 2 weeks ago. saw small yellow on right tonsil, need to clear throat sometimes. no pain, no fever. cancer or fungus??

Accepted Answer

Probably neither: It is highly unlikely that you have fungal infection or cancer from sex two weeks ago. Even though you had HPV, still get vaccine to prevent infection with other strains of HPV. If you miss your period by 4-5 days, do a home pregnancy test. If the result is negative repeat the test 4-5 days later unless you get a period by then. Use first morning urine and follow the instructions for the test carefully.
If you do not wish to be pregnant, use contraception all the time, every time. You may consider implanted contraceptive, or IUD. 
Practice safe sex.

Question 9

something in throat area that makes mouth stink ?

Accepted Answer

Infection?: possible infection in throat like strep can cause it.  Retained food can as well.  Heartburn is another possibility.

Question 10

what could be the white grainy stuff in my mouth/throat?

Accepted Answer

Tonsilliths: White concretions in tonsils are common. See an ENT doctor.
