A member asked:

Can oral thrush cause your lips burn or give you chapped lips?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Doubtful: Although you may experience thrush and chapped lips at the same time, it is unlikely that the conditions are related. The yeast that causes thrush requires a warm, moist environment, such as the inside of the mouth and throat. Chapped lips are caused by drying conditions in the environment.

Maybe: In some cases, you can get a candida (thrush) infection on the lips and it can cause burning. It usually happensinpeople who wear dentures.
