A lot of times, people
A lot of times, people use the word “candida” but what they really mean is “fungus.”
Candida has become a shorthand for what you might call fungal overgrowth, and this includes a fungal skin infection.
Fungi as a family of organisms include both molds and yeasts. And candida isn’t the only kind of yeast found in the gut and skin microbiomes.
Additionally, there are different types of candida that include candida albicans, as well as other candida species.
There’s also malassezia, another naturally occurring yeast that lives in the more oily areas like your face, scalp, and eyebrows. It can also be opportunistic and over-populate when the conditions are right — which can lead to rashes, dandruff (aka. seborrheic dermatitis), and tinea versicolor.
Plus two other interesting condition-specific notes worth mentioning are that some acne cases are actually fungal acne.
AND some cases of hidradenitis suppurativa show candida reactivity (via blood testing).
And then ringworm is another type of fungal rash that you should be aware of.
Other species of fungi that can cause skin rashes and lesions:
- Geotrichum
- Rhodoturula
- Aspergillus
- Stachybotrys
So just because you have fungal overgrowth it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s specifically candida causing your troubles.
