Avatar f tn Oral ulcers have various causes, and only a small fraction of those is syphilis-related. Extragenital syphilis ulcers (like on the tongue) are not too common, and syphilis is uncommon in developed countries (not sure where you had your risk) and 5 weeks TPPA is quite reliable. I wouldn't worry too much. But, if there is no way for your partner to test, you should retest in 2-3 weeks.
Avatar n tn 5 months for HIV, syphillis and herpes all negative. Doctor presribed steroid paste for tongue. When I take it the ulcers on the boarder of my tongue go away only to return a few days later. I am confident I am HIV negative but would like to find out what is causing these ulcers. If you are able to find out please let me know.
Avatar n tn My main problem is that I have something like tongue ulcers, white and dry tongue in the mornings. Like white lines most in the tip of my tongue, and they are worse in the mornings. So I got a gastroscopy and was diagnosed with Pylori. They gave me Omez + amox + clarithromycin for 10 days... So my "mouth problems" symptoms went away while I was taking clarithromycin for pylori but after I ended my treatment for they came back! Thats it.
Avatar n tn ) on the left side of my tongue. There are four of them. You can see them in the picture. They are not raised, are not painless, not hard, and seem to almost disappear during the middle of the day, as strange as that may sound. They are much more pronounced during the morning and evening. During the day the "spots" are still there, but they are almost the color of my tongue so they are harder to see. I wonder if this could be indicative of tongue cancer?
Avatar f tn So I tried the five day course and I noticed that some of the ulcers have shrunk a lot in size to tiny, but I have a new one that has popped up in another place in my throat, can anyone shed any light? My appointment with the ENT isnt until September, I feel absolutely fine in myself and the ulcers/blisters don't bother me that much apart from sometimes making me wake up with a dry sore throat on a morning. I am a 37 year old female. I am beginning to worry about the dreaded Cancer word.
Avatar f tn There are many causes for mouth and tongue ulcers. If you want to know why YOU have them, visit your doctor and ask. HIV is about the least likely thing on the list of things that can commonly cause mouth ulcers.
Avatar n tn I have also gotten a few more ulcers to my tongue and some of my gums are swollen. I have lost 9 pounds since the start of this b/c of the pain to eat. Another symptom that I am thinking is related is that I have gotten a severe area of inflamation around my anus. Does hemorrhoids cause this?? Labs for ANA,B12,CBC,BMP,LFTs were all normal. CRP was 3.5(elevated). do you have any insight as to what is going on?? Nobody has any answers for me. Going to another ENT for second op.on Monday.
Avatar m tn I am still having apothous ulcers on tongue,lips, palate and on gums after 13 months of exposure,they are like cancer sores.please advise if my 3 and 6 month test for all std and HIV are conclusive. I am so worried.
Avatar m tn Jay, hi. I am kind of in the same boat with you, besides white coating on tongue and genital ulcer. I have tested negative for every STD. I am thinking it might be EBV or mono. TBH, I really hope it is; because mono or EBV is such less severe than almost all of these STD's. Hope you are well.
Avatar f tn t work at all now has me on Imuran and also prednisone 60 mg a day. After 3 weeks of miserable side effects and no improvement in the ulcers, I told them I couldn't see staying on the prednisone. I am weaning off now and starting to feel like I might actually survive, I had terrible mood swings, depressed, fast heart rate, bad headaches, terrible sweating and just a nervous wreck and shaky. Wondering if others had this much trouble with this dose...
691864 tn?1298919197 Today, I was driving with my dogs and my children noticed that our Irish Wolfhound had these ulcers on the very tip of his tongue. It's like a cluster of little white, water blisters about the size of 1/2 dime.It looks like a cold sore on his tongue. He is also drooling more than normal. These were not present earlier this week. He is eating, drinking and behaviorally appears normal. He does not appear lethargic.

Avatar f tn I am still having problems with the bloating and abdominal pain although it has lessened, and I have an appointment with another gastro for the end of June. However, do any of you have any idea what else could cause ulcers in my colon? I have read that Crohn's is commonly associated with ulcers in the terminal ileum, but wouldn't that have come up in the biopsy? Why would the doctor just blow it off like that? Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!!!
Avatar f tn This time I went to the doctor because the back of my throat also had ulcers. The doctor swabbed one of the ulcers and said she was gonna send it to be tested for herpes and for shingles. She said if they didnt call then the tests were negative. So I didn't get a call, the ulcers slowly went away, and I was relieved. However, in the past week and a bit the ulcers have been reappearing, and the glands in my neck are swollen and painful.
Avatar f tn What causes a cronic sore tongue which looks like something has cut it along the tip and front sides? This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/693917'>cracked sides of my tongue</a>.
Avatar f tn I did get some small ulcers on the front of my Tongue and some sores inside my nose. My Tongue also swelled this week. I would hate to have HSV in my face, what is the risk for this and the long term complication. I have young children.
Avatar n tn I, too, have had a slight fever, but severe pain from ulcers on my tongue and on the roof of my mouth. The pain is from the tip of my tongue to the root, palate, throat, and even to my right ear. An MD glanced at my mouth and said I have a few ulcers and offered only some numbing mouthwash. I want to know why this is happening, not put a bandaid on it. Have you gotten information on your similar problem?
Avatar m tn two weeks ago i had causal oral sex with a man it only lasted a few seconds but 4 days latter i developed a fever and headache, the day latter i developed a sore throat and had pain swallowing, this was controlled by paracetamol and ibuprofen. after 4 days it wasnt getting better and i had developed exudates on my tonsil, i also had developed a rash on my tongue red blood spots down the side of my tongue that fits with step throat, i was given pen v by the doctor and with 36 hours i was better.
Avatar n tn I got my tongue pierced about a year and half ago, but I have suddenly got a lot of ulcers in around my mouth and my tongue and gums are swollen and i just wanted to know if that had anything to do with my tongue piercing. my tongue piercing looks pretty normal apart from the fact that my tongue is swollen and the end of it is numb and funny feeling as if i've burnt the to of it.
Avatar n tn ago, I developed oral thrush and ulcers on my tongue. I also had a yeast infection. Of course, I had a pap smear taken as my dr. examined the yeast infection. Bloodwork was drawn.My dr. ruled out stds. I did find out that I now have hypothyroidism though. The pap smear was normal.I was placed on Duflican and Magic Mouthwash.The yeast infection went away, but not the oral thrush and ulcers.After three rounds of Duflican and Magic Mouthwash, I still have it.The dr.
Avatar m tn I honestly don't know. I had sex with somebody while drunk and I don't think we used a condom. I can't ask him as I don't have his info. Classy eh ! 2 weeks after I get 6 ulcers on my tongue that just won't go, my tongue feels on fire. I read that mouth ulcers where a symptom of ARS and I freaked out. Are they? I know I need to test and I will but these ulcers are worrying me a lot.
Avatar f tn m 35 weeks today, the past few weeks my tongue has developed these little ulcers.. ALL (ob, family and dentist) my doctors say they are normal with pregnancy and will go away on their own.. How many other mama's are going through this? & is there something you do aside from watching what you eat, to help? Thank you ladies..
Avatar m tn The virus causes painful sores on your lips, gums, tongue, roof of your mouth, and inside your cheeks. Associated symptoms such as fever and muscle aches may also occur. People contract herpes by touching infected saliva, mucous membranes, or skin. Pain, burning, tingling, or itching occurs at the infection site before the sores appear. Then clusters of blisters erupt. These blisters break down rapidly and, when seen, appear as tiny, shallow, gray ulcers on a red base.
Avatar m tn Now I have some sysmptoms like i am feeling stomach pain form last 5-6 days and two mouth ulcers on my tongue that has recently popped out and now one of them was healed of its own. Also sometimes i am feeling pain in my right buttock and lower back spine. I have never encountered this type of issues earlier. I am still very worried. I understand HIV duo is alsmost conclusive for hiv 1 but what about hiv2. I am from india and hiv 2 is also rare in india. Please suggest what to do in this case.
