Fungus is not uncommon in the human body, but no one wants to think about the fact it’s always present. Candida is a fungus found in the skin, but it’s not typically found in large enough numbers to matter. When numbers grow quickly, however, it can form what medical professionals refer to as candidiasis, which is an infection of the skin. It’s easily treatable, and these tips can help patients treat and prevent it from one of the many forms of candidiasis infections. Cutaneous candidiasis is commonly found in children and babies, and it’s an infection found around the nail beds or in folds of skin.
