What is it?
Candida infections are fungal infections caused by an overgrowth of Candida yeast on the skin. In children, these infections commonly affect warm, moist areas such as the diaper area, skin folds, groin, armpits, around the mouth, or between fingers and toes. The rash typically appears red, sore, and well-defined, sometimes with small surrounding spots, and may cause itching or discomfort.
How it works
At Claire Derma, management focuses on confirming the diagnosis and clearing the yeast infection while protecting sensitive skin. The dermatologist examines the affected area and assesses contributing factors such as moisture, friction, recent antibiotic use, or underlying skin conditions. Treatment usually includes antifungal creams or ointments along with guidance on keeping the skin clean, dry, and well cared for.
