Could be: It is not unsual to develop candida infections after antibiotics treatment especially in areas that remain moist.

You are not allergic: It is possible that the drug caused candidiasis. You could try an over the counter anti fungal cream and see if it helps.If it doesn't help i would see your dermatologist.
