The links and images below will direct you to information about conditions that affect the mouth in adults. The skin of the mouth is a moist surface known as the mucous membrane. The thin tissue here is easily eroded by a variety of causes. Canker sores (aphthous ulcers) are common and painful lesions in the mouth. Thrush (oral candidiasis) is a fungal infection of the mouth. Occasionally, one of the salivary glands in the mouth can become blocked and a cyst, called a mucocele, can develop there. Lichen planus and hairy tongue are other changes that occur in the mouth.
