ABSTRACT

Candida albicans is a common commensal organism found in the gastrointestinal tract and mouth of 40-60% of healthy individuals. However, its pathogenic potential, particularly in the form of diaper dermatitis, is significant in infants. This paper reviews the historical recognition, clinical presentation, and treatment of Candida albicans diaper dermatitis. It includes an educational image and emphasizes the importance of differential diagnosis to avoid mismanagement, particularly in distinguishing it from other types of diaper rashes.

Keywords: Candida albicans, Diaper Dermatitis.
