Skin Candida, Candidiasis. Candida is an yeast type of fungus that occurs on the skin and cavities of the body but will not cause an infection in most cases. A candida infection, known as candidiasis, is more likely to occur on the skin although it can also infect the vagina, mouth or intestines.Infection of the latter two sites is usually limited to immunocompromised patients like in HIV/AIDS. candida infection, known as candidiasis, is more likely to occur on the skin although it can also infect the vagina, mouth or intestines.

Candida infection of the skin. Cutaneous candidiasis is an infection of the skin with a candida fungus. The body normally hosts a variety of germs, including bacteria and fungi. Some of these are useful to the body, some produce no harm or benefit, and some can cause harmful infections. Some fungal infections are caused by fungi that live on the hair, nails, and outer skin layers. They include yeast-like fungi such as Candida. In cutaneous candidiasis, the skin is infected with Candida fungi. This type of infection is fairly common. It can involve almost any skin on the body, but most often it occurs in warm, moist, creased areas such as the armpits and groin. The fungus that most often causes cutaneous candidiasis is Candida albicans.
