Candidiasis: Prevention and Cure

When the environment is ideal, it multiplies and grows out of control, and then an infection can occur which is known as candidiasis. It often makes the skin red, rash and itchy.

It includes all the type of infection caused by Candida species; all the body parts can be involved but the frequent one is the skin and mucous membranes (oral and genital). It is often seen that men are more susceptible to oral thrusts while females usually get a genital yeast infection. Researches show that more than 78% of women in fertile age have had candidiasis infection at least once in their life, and more than 35% have had it more than once in a year.

Since the disease is usually asymptomatic, it is important to know how to prevent and eventually cure it. For example, infections usually require the use of antifungal drugs like Fluconazole, Ketoconazole, Nystidine, and maintaining proper hygiene.
