Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Well based on your description it seems to like a fungal infection more than candidiasis. Sometimes due to antibiotic uses, low immunity or not a healthy diet fungal infection is present. So I suggest seeing a doctor to be sure of the diagnosis and to start taking antifungal tablets.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Elona Dashi
