Linear lesions are associated with poison ivy, dermatitis, or hookworm. Polycyclic lesions are associated with drug reactions. Linear lesions along a nerve root are associated with herpes zoster. Grouped or clustered lesions are associated with herpes simplex.

Clients who smoke have seven times the risk of developing gum disease. Alcohol intake increases the risk of throat cancer. Ulcerative stomatitis and gum disease is not associated with kissing or eating.
