Hi All,
I am a 25 year old boy. Due to privacy reasons, I do
not wish to reveal more about my identity.

exact duration, but it is definitely not less than 6
years), I've had this condition in my mouth whereby, a
whitish substance has been growing on the insides of
my mouth (inner side walls and below the tongue, but
NOT on the inner top surface).

Everyday when I wake up in the morning, the inner
linings of my mouth as well as the area under my
tongue are covered with this tasteless and odorless
substance (as for the color of this substance, it's
EXACTLY like the flesh of a tender coconut (and I mean
EXACTLY; I am stressing on the color so as to give you
a good idea about my condition)).

I must say that it does not harm me in any way. It is
just there all the time. It feels like some sort of a
fungus which has been residing in my mouth like a
parasite all these years.

This substance has not, however, affected my tastebuds
and other normal functions of the mouth. Neither has
it affected my teeth.

When I wake up every morning, using my fingers, I have
to clean the insides of my mouth and remove all of
this substance, even before I wash my face, or brush
my teeth. After this procedure, my mouth feels quite
normal and then I begin brushing my teeth.

After a few hours, like around 1 - 1:30 PM, the
substance has again grown adequately and before (or
sometimes after) I have my lunch, I again have to
clean up my mouth using my fingers just as I have to
in the mornings. Then I'm good for the rest of the
day.

As for treatments, I had several years back, consulted
my family GP, who had then recommended me Candid mouth
paste. I was advised to apply this paste on the
insides of my mouth about 3 times a day. But it did
not help in the long run.

I even tried to gargle and rinse my mouth with diluted
Dettol antiseptic a few times (without any medical
supervision and on my own) believing it would cure me,
but the Dettol begin to seep into the roots of one of
my teeth which has had a root canal done, putting me
in great pain and forcing me to stop. I then stopped
any treatment of this disease, since I was a little
fed-up of it, and also, I was finding it difficult to
find the time to pursue the treatment for it. Also, I
was a bit reluctant to let my family GP know the real
reason (which I suspect) for the cause of the disease
(which I have disclosed further below...).

I am seeking for a cure for this weird abnormality of
mine, because I am soon getting married, and I fear
transmitting this fungus to my wife, during normal
activities like kissing.

Now for the most uncomfortable part. I am giving you a
very important clue to this disease of mine, which I
hope would help you to diagnose the disease and tell
me the required course of treatment.

I caught this fungus during my college days from one
of my (male) friends. One day, we both were out in
someone's party and were really drunk by the end of
it. All I can remember and tell you is that the next
morning, I woke up with his penis (and part of his
scrotum) in my mouth. I am not gay, and neither is my
friend, but something must have happened that night
(which I cannot recall) that led to the above
mentioned situation. I have not told the source of
this fungus to my family GP (who I have mentioned
above) because of obvious hesitation and reluctance.

Two days after the above mentioned predicament of
mine, when I woke up, I found this strange thing
inside my mouth, (about which I think I was able to
give you a good idea). I Immediately suspected that
this definitely must have been caused by
you-know-what.

I am requesting you to please, PLEASE go through this
description of my problem and suggest me any
medication, which would relieve me of this oral
abnormality, FOREVER.

Regards,
Anonymous.
