I woke up yesterday morning with an awful itchy white spotty mouth, the spots are tiny, white heads in patches all around the mouth area, extremly itchy, feel really dry when scratch them and came from no where.
I am going make a doctors appointment, but i really would like you advice before
lulabelle answered Sunday May 7 2006, 1:53 pm: A Doctors Appointment is actually a great idea. This could be any number of things such as an allergic reaction to something, like some food you may have ingested that you're not use to. It could also be some kind of fungal or bacterial infection. No one can really tell unless they can see it. So, what can we do about it until you get to the Doctor? If you can get to a health food store that carries essential oils get yourself some clove oil. Clove oil is great for a tooth ach. You put it on the offending tooth and the pain will go away until you can get to a dentist. Well, you can put clove oil on the itchy areas. It may sting a little at first (because I'm sure you've scratched it) but it will numb it. You can also put peppermint oil on it as well. Peppermint oil is an analgesic and will help it feel better until you can get to a Doctor. Good luck!

Of course only your Dr can provide you with a diagnosis or treatment, but two things that come to mind are "hand-foot and mouth disease" or thrush. Don't just assume they are pimples especially if they cropped up overnight. Don't use any products on the spots until your Dr says you can. [ Nallie's advice column | Ask Nallie A Question ]

But since it's by your mouth it could be comething you ate. or you might consider putting blistex or some kind of chapstick around your whole mouth. but that's a good thing that you're going to the doctors. because it COULD be something a little more serious..
