Avatar f tn Is anyone else having any issues with their mouth? My tongue is sore and it appears to have tiny sores on the sides of it. I also have a metallic numb feeling\taste. I know it sounds weird but its the best description I can give. It is starting to hurt at times when I am eating.
Avatar f tn I have not started treatment yet, but my tongue is swollen and feels like it is cracked. This will be my 3rd time to do treatment in the last 20 years, but I don't recall the sore tongue. Any input will be appreciated.
Avatar f tn I knew that smoking FSC cigarettes inflammed my tongue (swollen and cracked and sore) and stopped smoking them as soon as I realized the cause. Since all cigs are now FSC I am quitting but my tongue and not healed. What is causing this awful reaction?

Avatar f tn Does anyone know what the best thing is for dry cracked mouth, iv tried vasaline, seems to make it worse.
Avatar n tn This situation might be what is called a furrowed tongue. This is a beign anatomic tongue. If in fact this is the correct diagnosis then what you should be aware of is to keep the furrows as clean as possible. That means brushing your tongue frequently. See an oral surgeon to confirm the diagnosis.
731247 tn?1233787586 Along with all the other crappy side effects, all of a sudden my tongue gets red and irritated and stays that way. Also, the back of my throat is very sore. So I called my perpetually upbeat nurse and she suggest I have Thrush Mouth, which reminds me of an old Zappa tune called Stink Foot. Sorry... Now I am taking a throat lozenge named Clotrimazole. It isn't working. Has anyone else experienced "Cracked Tongue Syndrome"? How did relief come?
Avatar f tn Hi there, I'd be careful using L-Lysine ointment on your tongue. It's meant for sores and ulcers. How long have you had the sore on your tongue? Is the sore on top of your tongue or underneath your tongue? Just wondering.
Avatar m tn I have had a great deal of anxiety about this, and hearing that my cracked lips did not put me at risk is a huge relief. I assume based on this being no risk, testing wouldn't be necessary, right?
Avatar m tn Now it has almost gone but I got diarrhea and it is coming and going.. Sometime good stool and another time very bad watery stools and it persist for almost two weeks.. Will it because of HIV? Do any of you think, the P24 DUO test at the 10th day is valid?... then why the hell I have all symptoms?... I never ever do it again... Did I spoil my life?... I was crying and almost tried sucide (still I kept around 100 sleeping pills)..
5655076 tn?1417267568 Question: I forgot to tell you one thing in last post. During fingering the escort, my spectacles (glasses, eyewear) dropped on the floor and I picked them with same dirty hands. Right next moment I wore them using same dirty hands. My glass frame is thin. I am scared because of acquiring HIV or other STDs by picking up the glass frame with my dirty hands and putting them back on eyes within one second.

Avatar f tn s been 30 days nd I still having tongue problem As the csw kissed me ( a closed mouth kiss) but my lip due to cracked got bit blood and I instantly washed it . can it cause HIv transmission ??
Avatar n tn The past couple of days (3-4 days past kissing), my lower lip - but mostly NOT where it was cracked - is hurting ocassionally, like a minor and momentary burning sensation... ...and this morning, I noticed an ulcer on my tongue. It's fairly flat, flesh colored, with just a bit of red around it. Not very painful at all... again, actually feels like I might have burnt it on hot food (although I can't remember doing that this week.) And it feels better if I wet it - so does my lip.
Avatar n tn I have problems with my 2 upper wisdom teeth. The one on the upper right has cracked and chipped twice over the past 7 months.The tooth has been digging into my gums and is uncomfortable to open my mouth too wide. Recently I have a frequent headaches and sore throat that also feels tight by the adam's apple. Is it common to have these side effects with chipped teeth?
Avatar f tn for the last two days ive noticed the back of my tongue by my left tonsil is swollen i have an appointment at the doctors but thats 3 days away yet im 39 and a smoker
Avatar f tn It is difficult to comment without examining. The tongue and lips could be red and cracked due to various reasons. It could be due to iron deficiency anemia, pernicious anemia and other B-vitamin deficiencies, aphthous ulcers, oral lichen planus, yeast infection; exposure to irritants such as hot foods, or spices, tobacco, alcohol; allergy to toothpaste, mouthwash, breath fresheners, dyes in candy, dentures, food items, coloring agents, or blood pressure medications like ACE inhibitors.

Avatar m tn The wound was almost all the way healed but i could still feel where it was in my mouth with my tongue. Also, it was very cold and dry outside and i had cracked lips, and i noticed that there was just a very small amount of blood from one of the cracks on my lips after my encounter with this girl. So I really would like to know my risk, if any, the chance of being infected with HIV.
Avatar f tn About 8 days after a low risk incident I developed ARS symptoms=loose stools for 2 days, Night sweats for about 2 weeks, Thrush (confirmed) on my tongue, burning throat and (I think) hairy leukoplakia on the tip of my tongue ( my tongue is thick and cracked and sore), And still 5 months later my symptoms persist and more have come about such as numbness in my thighs, sores on my body that are healing slowly, shortness of breath, heart palpatations and insomnia and all I can think about is that
Avatar m tn But my nose always feels stopped up, and last few days my tongue has small bumps on it and if I roll my tongue it appears cracked. Is this a sign of oral thrush, does a negative hiv test is 2016 and 2017 after possible exposure in summer and winter of 2012 considered conclusive. My tongue at times looked white, but after bushing it looks pink, and right now is pink. Would the while permanently stay of it was thrush from hiv? Or were my results conclusive?
Avatar f tn So I tried to get out of giving a blow job to a guy but needless to say that's why I'm here. I'm pretty sure at the time I was at stage 4 of the cold sore (cracked/bleeding when stretched) and point is I'm scared I gave the guy hsv 1 & 2. I've researched numerous sites some say stage 4 isn't as contagious, some say the opposite, and others say it doesn't matter if I have a break out or not.
Avatar f tn A few months ago my salivary glands became swollen to point I couldn't swallow. After medicine they went down, but never completely went back to normal. About two months ago my tongue began to get white-ish in the center, coupled with occasional morning sore throats. Now, on top that, pink patches are forming on my tongue (almost replacing the white-ish) and I have a foul taste in the back of my mouth. I'm not completely sure what is going on, nor why.
