Candidiasis is the second most common
cause of vaginal irritation or
vaginitis.
In people who have healthy immune
systems, candidiasis can usually only
be found in exposed and moist parts of
the body, such as:
- the mouth or throat (oral
thrush)
- the vagina (vaginal candidiasis
or thrush)
- folds of skin in the diaper
area (diaper rash)
Candidiasis can also occur on the
male genitals, particularly in
uncircumcised men.
