What does thrush look like

[CuriousCat]

I'm hoping to get some help from other forum users. I'm trying to find out what thrush looks like, but I'm not sure. Does anyone have experience with this and can they describe what it looks like? Is it just a red rash or something else? Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Thrush usually appears as a white or cream-colored coating on the tongue, inner cheeks, and sometimes the roof of the mouth. It can also spread to the gums, tonsils, and back of the throat. It may look like cottage cheese or milk curds. Other symptoms may include redness or soreness in the affected area and a burning sensation when eating or drinking acidic foods. In severe cases, it can cause difficulty swallowing and an unpleasant taste in the mouth. If you think you may have thrush, you should see a doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Thrush is a type of fungal infection caused by the overgrowth of the yeast Candida albicans. It can affect different parts of the body, including the mouth, throat, skin, and genital area.

In the mouth, thrush can present as creamy white lesions that may look like cottage cheese. These lesions are commonly found on the tongue, cheeks, roof of the mouth, and gums. They can be painful and may bleed when scraped. In some cases, the lesions can spread to the lips, palate, or the back of the throat.

In the throat, thrush may present as white patches that can be scraped off. These patches may also form on the vocal cords, making it difficult to speak and swallow.

On the skin, thrush may present as flat red patches with sharp, scalloped edges. These patches may appear on the trunk, arms, and legs. They can be itchy and may cause a burning sensation.

In the genital area, thrush may present as red, sore patches or itchy white discharge. Women may experience a burning sensation when passing urine and men may experience discomfort during intercourse.

If left untreated, thrush can spread to other parts of the body, including the esophagus and lungs. It is important to seek medical help if you suspect you have thrush, as it can cause more serious complications if not treated properly.
