Answer 1

Thrush begins white plaques or spots in the mouth.

Thrush is the term used to describe the presence of Candida albicans in the mucous membranes of the mouth of infants. It occurs less commonly in adults and they are usually immunocompromised. Thrush is characterized by the formation of white plaques or spots in the mouth that lead to shallow ulcers caused by keratolytic proteases from the microorganism. The infection commonly spreads to the groin, buttocks, and other parts of the body. Treatment may be difficult and include oral antifungal washes, such as nystatin oral suspension.

Answer 2

Scabies are characterized by burrows and papules. Bed bugs are nocturnal, blood-sucking parasites. Pediculus capitis, pediculus corporis, and phthirus pubis are three types of lice. Fleas bite in clusters along extremities and where clothing is tight fitting. Scabies is treated with oral invermectin and scabicides.
