Question: I take medications that cause dry mouth. Then I started getting sores and tiny flaky blisters at the cracks of my mouth. Went to my dr. And he prescribed an antifungal cream. Since I have used it the sores are better but now I have them at my nostrils. Can it spread to other parts of my face and my husband if he kisses me?
Brief Answer:
Yes, it can be transmitted
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Yes, fungal infections do usually spread locally and also to the partners as long as there is raw skin in the affected.
Continue the antifungal cream and also do take Mutivitamin supplement which can help in healing of the sores.
If they burn while consuming food do apply anaesthetic gel like DOLO gel Mouth paint to get relieved of the discomfort.
Hope, I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
