Swollen Glands Above Collarbone, Neck. Scratchy Throat, Slippery Skin In Mouth. White Skin Peals. Help?
Ok......... I have swollen glands above each collarbone also some swollen glands in my neck. I have a scratchy throat. Also I have some strange gum activity going on. Different slippery skin in part of the top of my mouth. Quite often a think layer of white film skin peals off from my cheeks. I'm going for a CT scan tomorrow.

Hello,
Thanks for writing to us.
The swollen glands as well as strange gum activity associated with pealing of skin can be due to -APHTHOUS STOMATITIS.
I would advice you to apply topical steroid on the affected area.
Avoid spicy allergic foods.
Smoking as well as tobacco chewing has to be discontinued.
Maintain oral hygiene well.
Please do visit a dentist for further reference.
Take care.
