Thrush is one of the small but very troublesome disorders in the mouth. With the presence of canker sores, eating becomes a bit of a hassle, even just speaking your mouth hurts. Many do not know that there are many types of canker sores and how to deal with canker sores.
So, so that you can deal with canker sores well and also know more about this disease that cannot be underestimated, see the detailed review.
Types of canker sores that can appear in the mouth
It turns out that the types of canker sores that can affect us all are not just one type. Based on the shape, size, and effects there are three types of canker sores. Here's a full explanation:
Minor thrush
Minor canker sores are one of the most common types of canker sores. Usually these canker sores appear when you accidentally bite the skin in the oral cavity or because the sanitation here is not good. These canker sores will appear in small sizes and spread at one point or several points.
The shape of this canker sore is oval with a white center and slightly reddish edges. This type of canker sore is easy to heal with good care. It usually takes about 1-2 weeks for the wound to heal and the skin in the oral cavity to return to normal.
Major thrush
The next type of canker sores is the major type. This type of thrush can occur on the skin of the oral cavity up to the teeth and gums. The size of this canker sore is quite wide and sometimes the edges are not clearly visible. Sometimes a cluster of canker sores can consist of more than two sores.
The larger size makes canker sores feel more painful than usual. When the cheek is touched, the pain will feel more intense. This major canker sore will not heal until 6 weeks of healing. With this long time, some people will experience eating and speaking disorders.
Herpetiform thrush
Even though the name is herpetiform, this canker sore is not caused by the herpes virus that enters the mouth. Usually the size of these canker sores is very thin and collects into one group. One group can have 10-100 sores and they don't merge into one big hole.
Unlike the usual types of canker sores which have regular edges, this canker sore doesn't have regular edges. In addition, healing is also quite fast, around 1-2 weeks. Oh yes, even though they are small and thin, because there are many of them, the pain experienced by sufferers will also be great.
Causes of canker sores to watch out for
Many people only know that canker sores are always associated with a lack of vitamin C. So, is this disease only due to a deficiency of vitamin C? The answer is no. Here are some health conditions or diseases that cause canker sores:
Decreased immunity due to certain diseases or viruses. Diseases that cause this condition are autoimmune diseases such as lupus or HIV/AIDS, which are starting to show quite serious infections.
Viral infections such as smallpox that appear in the body, including the mouth.
Deficiency of iron and vitamin B12.
Reuter's syndrome which causes inflammation in several places in the body. The most common place to experience inflammation is the mouth.
Someone who is allergic to gluten that enters the form of food. This allergy causes irritation in the oral cavity.
Infections in the mouth, teeth and gums that are quite severe. This infection causes sores and swelling. In the medical world this condition is called gingivostomatitis.
The appearance of herpes around the mouth. So far, we only know that herpes only appears around the genitals. Even though it can also appear in the mouth area and cause canker sores.
Appearance of oral cancer. This cancer appears because there is an infection from HPV that is not immediately treated. HPV can enter the mouth due to physical contact, especially during oral sex.
Itchy rash on the skin and parts of the cavity in the mouth. This condition is called lichen planus.
Certain fungal infections that appear and grow on the tongue as well as the lining of the mouth. This infection causes sores and inflammation that triggers pain when eating.
Measles or rubella disease. This disease causes thrush in large numbers in the oral cavity to go inside. Rubella is very dangerous and can cause death. That is why the rubella vaccination has been encouraged in Indonesia in recent years.
Sores from sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea and syphilis.
