Candidosis (Advice and Guidance only)

Candidosis is an infection caused by the Candida species of yeast, which is a type of fungus. While Candida can live harmlessly on the skin and in the body, it can cause infections when it grows out of control. Candidosis can occur in various parts of the body, and the type of infection depends on the location.
