Candidiasis is a fungal infection due to a yeast (a type of fungus) known as candida. Certain species of candida cause the most common infection – Candida Albicans. Typically, Candida lives on the skin and inside the body, and in places such as the mouth, throat, gut, and vagina, without causing any problems.
