  1. WHAT IS CANDIDIASIS? BY GRACIA CUTIS-SKIN, AESTHETIC AND LASER CLINIC KOLKATA, INDIA

  2. Several types of bacteria and fungus reside on our bodies. These, usually are not harmful, but the ones that are, tend to cause infections on our skin and body that causes discomfort and other problems. One of these is Candidiasis. To go for the treatment of the infection we must first know what is Candidiasis. Candidiasis is a fungal infection caused by the Candida fungus which is one of the harmful fungi and when they start multiplying uncontrollably, they cause a problem for the skin. This condition is called Candidiasis of the skin.Candidiasis of the skin causes the skin to be red and itchy. This rash is also prone to spreading to other parts of the body. It is most common in the folds of skin such as, under the arms, behind the knees, etc. This can, however, be treated with the help of antibacterial creams and improving personal hygiene.

  3. CAUSES OF CANDIDIASIS:- The infection-causing Candida fungi already reside on the skin. But, the problem begins when these start to multiply at a fast, uncontrollable rate.The causes of multiplication and infection can be:-Wearing clothes that are too tightPoor personal hygieneObesityInfrequent undergarment changeDamp, wet skinWeakening of the immune system due to other conditions like pregnancy, diabetes, high blood pressureConsumption of antibiotics that kill the good bacteria that are important for keeping Candidiasis causing fungi under control.

  4. SYMPTOMS OF CANDIDIASIS:- • A rash is the main symptom and effect of the infection. However, other symptoms include: • Redness • Intense itching • Sore skin • Cracked skin • Blisters and pustules • In case any of these symptoms are noticed, it is important to consult a doctor and understand what is candidiasis and what treatment should be done.Candidiasis can affect different parts of the body especially the one in folded regions such as the armpit, groin, between fingers, and also under breasts. There are also other infections such as ringworm, diabetes-related skin infections, herpes, hives, etc. To differ from this, only a doctor can tell you the correct treatment and find out what is candidiasis and how you need to improve your lifestyle.

  5. DIAGNOSIS OF CANDIDIASIS:- The infection is mainly caused by the damp, moist regions of our body. This is why the folds are affected. Babies can also be prone to this on their buttocks due to diapers which cause moistness.A doctor can identify Candidiasis simply by physically examining the affected area. They can do so by observing the location, rash, and skin.However, a skin culture is performed by your doctor to be completely sure of the diagnosis of candidiasis. A skin culture text would test the presence of Candida fungi on your skin. The doctor does so by collecting a skin sample by rubbing a cotton swab by rubbing on the affected area.

  6. TREATMENT OF CANDIDIASIS:- • Prevention of candidiasis can be done at home. But, the treatment can be done only with the prescription and treatment by a doctor.Prevention at home most importantly includes proper personal hygiene and regularly drying the skin to avoid moist skin. This helps keep Candida infections away. • Other preventive measures include:- • Reducing sugar in your diet-Abnormal blood sugar can be one of the causes of the growth of the Candida fungi. So, to exercise at least 3-4 days a week and consume less sugar is necessary. • Change your socks and undergarments regularly. • Avoid wearing damp clothing such as swimsuits, sweaty clothes for too long.Wearing loose fitted clothes. • For treatment, your doctor will prescribe you with an antifungal cream or powder for your skin.
