What Causes Constant Persistent Itching At The Roof Of The Mouth?
I have constant persistent itching of the roof of my mouth and itching around the outside of my mouth (lips).
It doesn't seem to be related to eating. It happens during the day and at night while in bed. I am 40 yrs. old and am 5' 6" and weigh 170. What is the deal with this?

Hello, thank you for consulting with healthcaremagic.
It looks that you are allergic to something, that is in constant contact with you might be some kind of ointment which you are applying.
Or it can also be possible that you are having candida infection.
In first condition you should change the ointment.
In second condition you should start with an antifungal.
But better that once you should visit a dentist to get it examined.
