Abstract
Candidiasis refers to a fungal infection that occurs due to an excess of the Candida albicans fungus, a
microorganism typically present in the human body. It can affect multiple areas, including the mouth, skin,
nails, and genital regions, leading to irritating symptoms such as itching, burning sensations, redness, and the
appearance of white patches. Various elements contribute to its onset, including weakened immune defenses,
prolonged antibiotic usage, diabetes, pregnancy, and insufficient hygiene practices.
