I've spent a lot of time talking about candida...
But it's not the only fungal skin infection! 😮
Candida has become a shorthand for what u might call fungal overgrowth + this includes fungal skin infection.
A lot of times, people use the word “candida” but what they really mean is “FUNGUS.” 👀
Fungi include both molds + yeasts. And Candida ISN'T the only kind of yeast found in the gut + skin microbiomes.
Plus, there are different types of Candida that include Candida albicans as well as other Candida species.
Confusing, right? 🥴
Other species of fungi that can cause skin rashes + lesions include:
🔸Malassezia
🔸Geotrichum
🔸Rhodotorula
🔸Aspergillus
🔸Stachybotrys
Did u know that fungal overgrowth DOES NOT always mean candida overgrowth?
