Question 1

a blister in the mouth means i have anything contagious, or not?

Accepted Answer

It's possible: Blisters, erosions and sores in the mouth can be caused by many different things.  Some are contagious (herpes simplex) and many are not (canker sores, lichen planus, pemphigus vulgaris).  Have this checked out to find the exact cause as this is important for long term treatment decisions.

Question 2

what does it mean when my child keep getting clear looking blisters in her mouth, i heard it's a sign of having worms is that true?

Accepted Answer

Noooo: ive never heard that. Blisters in the mouth especially in kids are usually a result of viral infections.  There are several that cause blisters but the cold sore is most common. Also blistering can occur as a result of repeated trauma and allergic reactions.  Forget about worms but take your child to the doctor and get this sorted out.

Question 6

i'm just wondering, if you have cold sores or fever blisters on your mouth, does that mean you have herpes?

Accepted Answer

Most likely: Cold sores are painful liquid filled blisters that can occur on the lips, roof of the mouth or the gums which are caused by the herpes simplex virus (hsv-1).
An estimated 80% of americans have been exposed to herpes simplex virus type 1. However, not all of those people will get cold sores.  It depends on your immune system.

Question 7

i started drinking whey protien drinks and i started getting blisters around my mouth.   does this mean i have an allergy to whey?

Accepted Answer

Allergy: You may have an allergy or food sensitivity or it could be unrelated. I would suggest a different source of protein, pea, rice, or a different brand of whey.

Question 8

just got 6 front teeth crowned and now have a very sensitive blister behind my 2 front teeth in the roof of my mouth. what could this mean??

Accepted Answer

Clinical exam by DDS: See your dentist to rule out any pathology. Can be as simple as a burn, which may be unrelated.

Question 9

if a blister/ulcer on floor of my mouth doesn't heal after few weeks, does that mean chances of oral cancer are very high?

Accepted Answer

No: Don't assume the worst right away. You're right that most oral sores seem to heal within a few weeks, but that's just a general guideline. Make sure you're not doing anything to aggravate healing like frequent rinsing with an alcohol based rinse. I would have the area checked out though to see if it warrants further investigation.

Question 10

i have one blister under my penis head. it is there  as far as i remembered. it is not hurting or any thing.
does that mean i have gentile herpes?  it never get away. i am monitoring this blister for over a year now and no change happened.

Accepted Answer

See a doctor: It is not likely to be herpes if it has been there for over a year. I am worried it could be something more serious, like Syphilis or chancroid. You should see a doctor to be evaluated.
