Why Does The Roof of My Mouth Itch?
Here are some causes why does the roof of my mouth itch
Fungal infection
If your mouth itches regularly, you may have a fungal infection in your mouth, otherwise known as thrush. This is a fungal infection caused by an overgrowth of Candida albicans in your oral tissues. Spotting canker sores may appear on your tongue, the inside of your cheeks, tonsils, gums, or the palate of your mouth.
Anxiety
According to various sources, anxiety can also be the cause of the mouth feels itchy. Although rare, but in some people, this can cause an itching or burning sensation in the roof area of the mouth and lips.
Blisters (cold sores)
It is caused by certain types of herpes viruses. The symptoms will cause an itchy, burning, or needle-prick-like reaction when it begins to develop. Cold sores are also one of the causes of the sky itch.
Oral Allergy Syndrome
If you also feel these symptoms, it could be an indication you have a mild allergy that is often referred to as oral allergy syndrome.
The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology, the AAAAI defines it as oral allergy syndrome or a type of allergic reaction after contact with raw fruit or vegetables.
The main symptoms are itching and swelling of the mouth, face, lips, tongue, and throat. This is due to cross-reactivity with pollen. The oral allergy syndrome is sometimes called pollen fruit syndrome for this reason.
Viral infection
Some types of viruses can cause an itching or burning sensation in the mouth, including in the upper mouth and respiratory tract.
