A member asked:

Had jock itch and athletes foot and balantitis now i no these are all candidas but why have i had them all within a year or so ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Odd statement: While someone might have candida as the cause of inflammation in each of these locations, it is not a common cause. I would be concerned for diabetes in such an individual. A variety of skin fungi are much more common for the feet,jock itch regions. Of the 3,balanitis would have candida as a common cause.
