Absolutely.  And down the esophagus.  Can be very painful.  Makes swallowing very very difficult.  So if you are concerned about this see your dr.  You will need treatment.

They are cased by the herpes simplex virus (NOT related to the STD herpes.)  They can be caused by the virus alone or by biting the side of your mouth, or even when it's really cold outside and your lips are exposed. the best cures for them are medications such as "Herpacin" and "Abreva"

yes, even by oral kissing\n\nAIDS-related virus spreads through kissing - Herpes\nDANIEL Q. HANEY / AP 9nov00\n\nBOSTON -- A form of the herpes virus that causes an AIDS-related skin cancer appears to spread through kissing.\n\nHerpes virus 8 was discovered six years ago and causes a skin cancer called Kaposi's sarcoma. In the United States, the cancer occurs almost exclusively in people with AIDS.\n\nSome had suspected that the virus was transmitted through sexual intercourse, but the new research from the University of Washington, reported in Thursday's New England Journal of Medicine, contradicts that idea.\n\nDr. John Pauk and others tested 39 gay men who were infected with the virus but did not have Kaposi's sarcoma. They found the virus in 30 percent of their saliva samples and mouth swabs, compared with 1 percent of anal and genital samples. When present, the virus levels were also much higher in saliva than in semen.\n\n``The important thing is it suggests that oral-oral contact plays some role in transmission, although more study is needed to confirm that,'' said Pauk.\n\nThe study also found that homosexual men who engaged in ``deep kissing'' -- kissing that involves a lot of contact with saliva -- appeared to be at substantially higher risk of catching the virus.\n\nKaposi's sarcoma causes purple skin blotches and can also attack the internal organs. Like many other diseases that kill people with AIDS, it usually affects those with weakened immune systems. The virus alone rarely causes sickness among people with normal disease defenses.\n\nThe research ``definitely has public health implications for people infected with HIV,'' said Dr. Ronald O. Valdiserri of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. However, he said there was not enough data to recommend that people with HIV avoid deep kissing.\n\nThirty percent to 50 percent of HIV-infected people who catch herpes virus 8 will eventually get Kaposi's sarcoma. Kaposi's sarcoma has been present for centuries in Southern Europe, the Middle East and Africa. But it was rare in the United States until the start of the AIDS epidemic in the early 1980s.\n\nExperts say the virus is still largely confined to homosexuals in the United States, and that is why kissing has not yet spread herpes virus 8 among heterosexuals.\n\nDr. Anna Wald, another University of Washington researcher, noted that herpes virus 8 is closely related to the common Epstein Barr virus, which causes mononucleosis, long known as the kissing disease.\n\n``Teen-agers tend to get this when they start kissing,'' she said. ``The reason they get Epstein Bar virus and not herpes virus 8 is that most people have Epstein Bar virus, but relatively few have herpes virus 8.''\n\nDr. Patrick S. Moore of Columbia University, who discovered the virus, said exposure to saliva may explain the high rate of infection in parts of Africa, where more than 70 percent of people may carry herpes virus 8.\n\nOther forms of the herpes virus cause chicken pox, shingles, cold sores and genital herpes.

It sounds like a heat rash to me. I dont think herpes itches down there at least a cold sore a person gets on their mouth which is also known a version of herpes doesnt itch all it stings. Try using some cream that has zinc oxide in it like desitin. Zinc oxide is great for rashes. I think ya need to go to the doc tho so you can get their openion.

Generally, a person can only get HSV-2 infection during sexual contact with someone who has a genital HSV-2 infection. Transmission can occur from an infected partner who does not have a visible sore and may not know that he or she is infected.\n\nHSV-1 can cause genital herpes, but it more commonly causes infections of the mouth and lips, so-called "fever blisters." HSV-1 infection of the genitals can be caused by oral-genital or genital-genital contact with a person who has HSV-1 infection. Genital HSV-1 outbreaks recur less regularly than genital HSV-2 outbreaks.

First of all, it doesn't come from "nasty people who have sex with many people". That girl is such a moron. Anyway, you may become infected by someone who is carrying the virus by having sexual relations with them. This also includes oral sex. You've seen people with cold sores, right? If someone has oral sex with another person who has the disease they may contract oral herpes. Same idea with genital herpes. If someone has herpes they may have active outbreaks or they may never have an outbreak in their life. They may not even know they have the virus but they are still able to pass it on. Even if you use protection there is still a chance to contract the disease. \nThere is no cure for herpes. It lies dormant in your spinal cord until it activates, then it rises to the surface of the skin to the spot where the disease was first contracted. It causes painful red sores that usually last for 1-2 weeks.

well the ? is "tongue thrust" not "thrush"...\n\nit is known as tongue thrusting when the child &/or adult constantly places his tongue (subconsciously most of the times) in between the upper and lower front teeth.\n\nnewyz if the child has this habit, u need to see an orthodontist who will construct a custom fabricated appliance that when worn helps in breaking this habit, but whether the habit can be undone also depends on the child`s age.\n\ntongue thrusting can lead to a sequela of future problems, beginning with anterior open bite (there occurs spacing in between the upper & lower teeth when the mouth is closed which in normal conditions should have caused the upper teeth to overlap the lower). this can further lead to incomplete eruption of the posterior teeth which come in contact prematurely ; speech problems ; protrusion of upper &/or lower front teeth to name a few.\n\nan orthodontist can both correct the habit or get back the near to normal dentition if the teeth are already affected.

There is more than one kind of Herpes... are you asking about genital?\n\nI don't know, but I would tend to doubt it very much. The Herpes that causes cold sores on the mouth is a very common virus and most people get exposed to it whether they catch it or not. I'm not so sure it would disqualify someone if they had it.\n\nThat virus lives on the nerve that runs from the mouth across the cheek, and the other one lives on another nerve.\n\nJust call a hospital donor service and ask, they'll tell you on the phone.\n\nAha, just looked it up, I was right, genital herpes does not disqualify you, so I doubt they "check for it". They might ask you.\n\nfrom the below American Red Cross website, this covers STDs:\n\nSexually Transmitted Disease\nWait 12 months after treatment for syphilis or gonorrhea.\n\nAcceptable if it has been more than 12 months since you completed treatment for syphilis or gonorrhea.\n\nChlamydia, venereal warts (human papilloma virus), or genital herpes are not a cause for deferral if you are feeling healthy and well and meet all other eligibility requirements.

Herpes Simplex 2 can erupt on the mouth, but it has to get there first. Usually that happens during 0ral sex. HSV2 doesn't like to live on your mouth, so it will only erupt once or twice, then not show up again. That is unless you have a weak immune system (AIDS, chemo, etc.). If your immune system is weak, expect more eruptions, and more SEVERE eruptions.

In the case of herpes, venereal warts, and the human papillomavirus [HPV], chances are you can, as these often infect the genitals and the mouth simultaneously in most instances. For other STD's [HIV, gonorrhea, chlamydia], chances are slimmer, but it's still possible. You should always use a latex condom before any kind of sexual contact.

Canker sores are usually caused my stress or by some kind of trauma in the area like when you accidently bite your cheek. Canker sores occur in the mouth and on the gums and sometimes tongue.\n\nMost people think canker sores are a type of herpes but thats wrong. Herpes are sores that occur outside of the mouth like on and around the lips. These are contagious while canker sores are not.\n\nIf you have a canker sore just rine your mouth out with warm salt water or listerine. Then it will go away in a few days.

Re: the post above...You cannot get cold sores or genital herpes from cats or dogs.  They do not carry the virus.\n\nHerpes is a big family of viral infections, including: \noral herpes/herpes simplex 1 (cold sores,) \ngenital herpes/herpes simplex 2, \nchicken pox, \nshingles, etc.\n\nThe symptoms of each are different though.  \n\nCold sores tend to be small and most commonly are found on the lips and the area around the mouth.\n\nGenital herpes tends to produce larger sores (but not always!), and can be painful.\n\nA doctor can figure out which type you have.\n\nKeep in mind, when it comes to oral sex, you can transmit cold sores to someone's genitals.  You can also transmit genital herpes to someone's mouth.\n\nThere are tons of over the counter medicines for cold sores, and many prescription medicines for genital hepres.
