What should you pay attention to if you have oral mucosal diseases?

The mouth is not only the entrance for the human body to eat and breathe, but also has the function of preventing diseases. In particular, the oral mucosa can effectively block the invasion of various bacteria and viruses. However, the oral mucosa is not unbreakable. Under certain external forces, the oral mucosa will be damaged and infected, causing disease problems. Let's take a look at what problems you should pay attention to if you have oral mucosal diseases?

The most notable feature of oral ulcers is recurrent attacks, with the number of ulcers increasing from few to many and the location from front to back. They often occur on the oral mucosa, gums, upper and lower sides of the tongue, and throat. The ulcers can be as large as soybeans or as small as rice grains, and are covered with a white ulcerated film. In mild cases, it may occur once every few months, while in severe cases, the intervals between attacks gradually shorten and the disease worsens year by year. Ulcers may even occur repeatedly for years or even decades without healing.

Behcet's disease, also known as Behcet's syndrome, is a capillaritis of unknown cause. It is a chronic, progressive, recurrent, multi-system damaging disease with a pathological basis. This disease is quite similar to the "fox-induced madness" recorded by Zhang Zhongjing, a famous doctor in the Han Dynasty in my country, in his "Golden Chamber". Generally, oral ulcers and genital ulcers appear first, followed by damage to eye tissue and systemic damage such as skin and joints, and recurring attacks.

Lichen planus is a non-infectious chronic inflammatory disease of the oral mucosa, characterized by the appearance of stripes composed of pearly white, shiny papules on the oral mucosa, which cross-weave into a network or dendritic lesions.
