No one knows for sure.  Canker sores is different from fever blisters, which is caused by Herpes Simplex virus.  \nCanker sores, on the other hand, has not been identified to be caused by a virus.

some yeasts can be part of the normal flora.\n\nbeing part of the normal flora doesn't disqualify something as a pathogen, however.\n\nsome times it just takes a change in the population of the normal flora for a normally harmless resident to cause a lot of trouble.

Sounds like thrush. Go to the doctor and get some cream, then it will go away

It is possible that it is thrush (because of the antibiotics), so try eating some yogurt (with live culture).  It may take a couple servings and days to clear up.\nHowever, not always is a white coating "thrush", sometimes it can be caused by dehydration or what you have eaten.  \nMake sure that you drink lots of water and buy a tongue cleaner.  It works far better than brushing and can be found by the floss in your local pharmacy or Wal-mart type store.  These are made specifically for removing bacteria from your tongue.

Another word for Thrush is a yeast infection.  Vinegar alone will not cure a yeast infection, and in fact, if you do not treat it, it can open you to other pelvic infections and so forth.  This infection isn't just on your outside; you just feel it more on the outside because of more nerve endings. You will be itchy, and raw, and sometimes the tissue  there gets rice paper thin - you wipe and you bleed. Vinegar merely relieves the symptoms for a bit, it does not cure them.\n\nThere are over the counter treatments such as Monistat that you can insert nightly. I recommend the three day variety. They also have generic or store brands of the same product. There is a douche that you can use as well for this - again nightly.\n\nIf you are into the all natural way, then you can douche with yogurt and water mixed half and half - plain yogurt, please- the fruit kind will just make you worse.  You have to do this for 7 to 10 days.  You have to DOUCHe with the yogurt and NOT use tampons during this time period - the tampon just acts as a breeding ground.\n\nHOWEVER, if you are even the slightest bit allergic to molds, DO NOT use yogurt- it makes the yeast infection 10 times worse, because now you have an allergic reaction there as well!\n\nBTW? Thrush can also happen in your mouth; sometimes babies are born with it if you have a mild yeast infection when they birthed- they get it in their mouths, and if you breast feed, it gets on your nipples.  Thrush in the mouth makes th mouth look like it's coated in white paint and it is painful to eat- espeically anything with salt or sugars in it.

The yeast organisms are present in different parts of your body. Even babies can get an overgrowth of those organisms and get an infection, for instance thrush.\nAs you approach puberty and your period your hormones change and you might well have your first vaginal yeast infection.\nI assume that this is the first time you've thought you've had a yeast infection, so please go see a doctor to make sure that's what it is. Sometimes bacterial infections act just like yeast infections in the beginning but won't clear up with over-the-counter treatments. It takes antibiotics to fix those.

Cheek cells are called epithelial cells.  In general epithelial cells are a kind of barrier cell that lines the internal suface of a body cavity.  Cheek cells (epithelial cells) are a kind of tissue.  A tissue is made up of similar cells that have a common function.  Multiple kinds of tissue make up an organ.\n\nCheeks cells are not saliva although they can be shed from the cheek surface into saliva.

Talk to your doctor. After all, his buccal bacterial flora is mixing with your normal vaginal flora and may be unbalancing it. It could be Candida (yeast) even if you have no discharge, because of the itching you describe.\nHe could have yeast in his mouth and not notice; if you don't eliminate it you will go on catching it from each other. \nGo to your gynecologist!!!

Neutrophils and macrophages phagocytize (swallow) bacteria without regard to which type it is.  While there are also non-specific defenses to viri (the plural of virus), the same defenses are used against bacteria as well.  There are specific defenses against certain bacteria and viri that are used to combat them (antibodies and antigens), but one usually has to be exposed to the pathogen before the antigens/antibodies can be produced by lymphocytes, although there are exceptions, known as innate immunities.\n\nThe main difference between our ability to fend off attacks by bacteria and viri is the phagocytic ability of the previosly names white blood cells (leukocytes) having the ability to swallow and then neutralize the bacteria.  This means more general defense against bacteria than against viri and therefore easier to fight, although with memory t cells, after we have produced and antigen to fight viri, we continue producing it and it remains present in the blood stream.  This is known as acquired immunity, and is the reason why most people wont get diseases like chicken pox more than once in their lifetime.

Warts are caused by a virus, so any contact with other body parts- like scatching them, and then scratching another body part will spread it.  Personal hygiene should also be of concern.\n\n"No, they are not caused by the same virus.  Warts on the hands and feet are caused by HPV 1 & 2, while genital warts are cause by types 6 & 11......"

Ringworm is, in fact, not a worm.  It's a fungus.  People in days past mistook the shape of the infection for a worms burrow under the skin and the name stuck.\n\nHookworm is the parasite famous for digging a microscopic hole through the skin of the feet.  There are certainly others.\n\nMosquitoes also bore holes in the feet of course...

Muco = mucous.  Cutano = skin  cyte = cell.  That's breaking the word down.  THat being said, I've never heard of a mucocutanocyte, and the skin does not make mucous.  There is a condition called mucocutaneous candidiasis, which is a chronic yeast or fungal infection.  I would think mucocutanocytes might be found in animals which produce skin mucous, such as hagfish- There are numerous mucous cells in the body, but none on the skin that I know of-
