Symptoms of cutaneous candidiasis

The human body often has some problems, such as colds, fevers, etc. These are minor problems and can be treated with common medicines, including cutaneous candidiasis. This disease can be divided into several types. It is caused by some external viral infections, and some symptoms will appear after the infection. So what are the symptoms of cutaneous candidiasis?

The rash of candidal dermatitis is mostly characterized by local skin redness, mild swelling, surface erosion, and secretions with a foul odor. Sometimes it may also be dry and scaly. Candida dermatitis often occurs in skin folds such as the groin, perianal and gluteal fissures, armpits, and skin under the breasts of women. It can also occur in the foreskin of the glans penis, the labia majora and minora, nail grooves, and corners of the mouth. Candidal dermatitis in children often affects the skin of the trunk and neck, presenting as widespread, dense, red maculopapular rashes that look like prickly heat. It may invade the oral or vulvar mucosa at the same time, often with a cheesy pseudomembrane-like discharge.

If it is confirmed to be candidal dermatitis, it is relatively easy to treat. Just apply a mold-killing antifungal ointment to the affected area. However, since it is applied to the ulcerated part, local irritation is strong and macules may also occur. It is recommended to listen carefully to the doctor's advice.

Generally speaking, once immunity is strengthened, Candida will disappear naturally, or even if it survives, there will be no symptoms. However, when your physical strength is weakened, such as when you have a cold, the Candida albicans has a good living environment, and the bacteria will multiply and cause inflammation.
