Could it be something you've eaten. I get this if i eat salt and vinegar pringles.

Could you have burnt it a few days ago on hot food perhaps? Where abouts in the mouth is it? Is it sore? Is it red beneath the bit sthat are peeling?

No, its the whole of the inside of my mouth - ie the inside of my cheeks. No red bits that i can see. Not sore (although I do have a very small bit of sore gum around one tooth but thats not peeling).

I sometimes get oral thrush because of my inhalers for asthma, and when i get it it feels like my mouth is peeling. Could it be this?

covenoveneer · 31/10/2006 14:36

Have you changed your mouthwash/toothpaste recently?

FreakyFloss · 31/10/2006 14:36

How odd VVV- my mouth has been feeling really odd too - not peeling as such but has a thick layer of yuck on top of the inside of my lips - my teeth have been feeling really coated too and the inside of my mouth stings when I eat certain things. I hope we aren't dying!

Gargling with soluble aspirin recently?

covenoveneer · 31/10/2006 14:39

I would get it checked out just to be sure.

Sorry - had to dash off to work....

No change in toothpaste, no new foods, no gargling with aspirin.

I did wonder about oral thrush, but when my DS had it as a baby he had white spots in his mouth, which i dont have. Its literally the inside of my mouth peeling, having swished with my tongue because the surface of the 'skin'(?) feels slightly rough. I also wondered whether it was related to the strange dry throat I had last week where my voice kept going or being croaky/hoarse.

The only thing that has changed in the last 2 weeks is that when I got my rep scrip from GP for AD's, when I changed it up the brand/maker had changed from the previous one. Thats it.

Is that dentist or doctor checked out though COV? (and thank you).

I think there might a some kind of virus goign round because for a couple of weeks I had a sore tongue and the inside of my mouth peeled one day too. It was really really horrible. I can still feel it a bit now. Went to dr and he gave me pastilles for oral thrush even though he didn't think it was that. they did seem to help a bit but I'm not convinced it was the pastilles - I think I just started to get better.

Pennies · 31/10/2006 21:09

Might just add, though, that the day my mouth peeled was the day I rinsed my mouth wth TCP which I would STRONGLY advise against!!!!

LOL Pennies!

Cali - I'm aware of those - DP reacts quite strongly to fruit like that. Not me though.

You haven't had any sulfa type meds lately?

comeoveneer · 01/11/2006 09:42

Sorry had to pop out T or T last night. TBH either doctor or dentist should be able to take a look.
