Cutaneous candidiasis is a skin infection caused by fungi of the Candida genus, which tend to proliferate in warm, moist areas of the body.
Common symptoms: Redness, itching, scaling and, at times, small lesions around the affected area, especially in skin folds.
Factors that favor it: Moisture, heat, continuous rubbing of the skin, and certain conditions that alter its natural balance.
Which specialist treats it? The dermatologist assesses skin conditions and provides guidance on their management; the general practitioner can also be a first point of contact. When lesions do not improve or spread, the prudent thing is to have them examined by a professional.
