Hello,
Various reasons for recurrent or persistent fungal infection are incomplete treatment, treatment resistance, co-existing dermatitis, diabetes and low immunity. Treatment resistance can be overcome by applying a cream with a combination of antifungals (Clotrimazole 1%, Miconazole nitrate 2%, Tolnaftate 1% and Butenafine hydrochloride 1%).
It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided.

Fungal infection (e.g. Candidiasis) can also manifest as white patches. The mouth lesions from fungal infection may also be associated with a stinging or burning sensation. If those lesions really bother you, I strongly suggest that you have those examined by another doctor. A swab or a biopsy of those lesions may need to be done.
A biopsy skin can also help in cliniching diagnosis. Treatment is different for both. While it is antifungals for the fungal infection, it is steroids and antihistaminics for the eczema.

I was given itraconazole and clotrimazole, during the treatment everything was ok but five days after treatment stopped it came back.. The skin around my lips got itchy and sensitive and i noticed very small blisters that are transparent in color appear on the border of my lips and a few in my actual lip area... I am very worried why it is coming back despite the treatment... Has anyone experienced thos before?
You can purchase Daktarin for oral use from the pharmacy to treat mouth fungal problems. Your doctor can take a swab to find out if this is a fungal infection.
If your boyfriend has passed on a fungal problem on to you, you may also have it on your genitals. You may experience itching, soreness and sometimes a white discharge. He may notice itching or discomfort on his penis, sometimes a white coating around the tip, sometimes there are no symptoms in men.
Having itching can be caused from an allergy to detergents, shower gels or soaps, or from a fungal infection. A fungal infection does not always produce a white discharge. Fungal infections can appear anywhere on the body as well as internally. Athlete's Foot, for example is a fungal infection on the feet and in between the toes.
You may find white specks on your tongue, inside the cheek, on the corners of your lips; your mouth would feel dry too. If you have got a fungal infection, you would require a specific anti-fungal oral gel to treat it. Pop into your pharmacist and get him to look inside your mouth to see if he can identify if you do have a fungal infection. If so, you can purchase without a prescription an oral gel called Daktarin. The pharmacist would be able to help you with that.
before you try medication, try gargling a few times a day with water and a little white vinegar or rice vinegar. It changes the ph of the mouth and may help if you have a fungal infection that is causing it. It's worth a try. It stopped my mouth sores that I was having during tx.

The white bumps on the tongue could be due to allergic reaction to bee pollen. However, it can also be due to food debris, fungal infection or due to dryness. Repeated acid reflux can also be a cause. If sucking on a hard candy removes it then it must just be old food debris. Fungal infection and acid reflux related white coat will persist. A clinical examination of the bumps along with microscopic examination of the scrapings can confirm the diagnosis. Treatment will follow the diagnosis.
Hey there, good luck as you go through the rest of treatment. Some of us develop ulcers and thrush-like fungal infections in the mouth like you describe. You should talk to your doctor about this; he needs to make sure your white cells/ANC are sufficient; this will be ordered as part of your routine labs but should be checked.
He might prescribe something like ‘magic mouthwash’ to help too.
The doctor can check that out for you and if he feels it is caused by a bacterial infection will prescribe an antibiotic. Be aware that antibiotics can cause Thrush (fungal infection) in the genital area as well as in the mouth.
Mouth fungal problems are treated by Daktarin gel specifically for oral use.
Do not wash with soaps as this dries the skin and can cause irritation by changing the pH level of the skin. Only wear cotton undergarments and use non-biological detergents.
mushrooms, when breathing and exhaling deeply. A friend and doctor suggested that I could have a nasal fungal infection, and suggested that I quit the spray and treat my body for Candida overgrowth. I have been rigorous about diet, as well as taking a Candida tablet containing garlic and caprilic acid, as well as taking citrus seed extract drops, three times daily, as well as drinking P'au Darko bark tea twice daily.
It could be from breathing through your mouth due to nasal blockage or it could be a little fungal infection. It's easy to get a little fungal thing going on there from moisture. I would put a little Lotrimin on it personally and see if it goes away. Full treatment takes 2 weeks, so follow the directions on the tube. It doesn't matter if the tube says athlete's foot or jock itch; fungus is fungus.
Antibiotics are never an effective treatment for fungal infections. You need an anti-fungal trearment such as Ketoconazole cream 2% apply to affected area. Do not use in mouth or inside nasal cavity. I am a nurse and was just dx for the peri-oral fungus- it is very common among kids and adults...it is a Vitamin B deficiency - treatment also with a B-complex multivitamin. Hope this clears up the problem. Ketoconazole cream is prescription-need to see a physician to get it.
