Hi doctor.
My name is Luke, I am 20 years old.
I have reason to believe that I have candida albicans. My immune system seems very weak, my diet consists out of healthy foods but it doesn't seem to strenthen my immune system, I could pick up a simple flu easily. A while back I had a fungus infection in my thigh, close to my groin, was easily cured with a cream I got from my doctor. I did some research and the fungus I had was called, tinea cruris, which Is caused by candida albicans. I also have severe heartburn at times when I eat foods that are very acidic, which is not normal for my age. I visited a dermatologist a while back for my skin, before I knew about candida, I also have keratosis pilaris and something called Emffecs( abbreviation- not sure what it stands for) which is on my face, I have red cheeks that are easily inflammed , and the skin under my eyes is a purple colour. Would like to know if there is a connection between the emffecs, keratosis pilaris and candida. And if I followed the strict Dr. Mccombs candida diet , would it help my skin.
Thanks!
